14. It is by your favour, O gracious goddesses! that I am empowered to give a relation of my prince’s genealogy to your benign graces.
15. There was a sovereign, born of the imperial line of Ixaku, by name of Mukunda-ratha, who had subjugated the earth under his arms.
16. He had a moon-faced son by name of Bhadraratha; whose son Viswaratha was father to the renowned prince Brihadratha.
17. His son Sindhuratha was the father of Sailaratha, and his son Kámaratha was father of Maháratha.
18. His son Vishnuratha was father of Nabhoratha, who gave birth to this my lord of handsome appearance.
19. He is renowned as Vidúratha, and is born with the great virtues of his sire, as the moon was produced of the milky ocean, to shed his ambrosial beams over his people.
20. He was begotten by his mother Sumitrá, as the god Guha of Gauri; and was installed in the realm at the tenth year of his age, owing to his father’s betaking himself to asceticism.
21. He has been ruling the realm since that time with justice; and your appearance here to night, betokens the blossoming of his good fortune.
22. O goddesses! whose presence is hard to be had, even by the merit of long devotion, and a hundred austerities, you see here the lord of the earth-famed Vidúratha, present before you.
23. He is highly blessed to-day by your favour. After saying these words, the minister remained silent with the lord of the earth.
