Translation by Samana Gururaja

In the family of Lord Rēvanta — the great light of a flashing comet — was the victor in war known as Keṁca — celebrated in the world, the valorous one, the exalted offspring of the sun.

Having caught and attacked, he beat the peacock to death, when he repelled and killed the weak-hearted man by throwing him to the ground, he obtained [the characteristic of] valour. Even before he saw Beḷvaḷa he shook the place, Navilgundapura.

He was called mēr-ttale; when he resisted, trampled, and defeated [his] enemies it was as if he was darkness to their rising sun [and so] the name, “darkness to his enemies” came to be his only name.

That lord’s elder son, called Sirimuddan, shone; he of the valorous arms. Who can come close [in comparison] to the crushing power of the strength of his arms? How majestic is Muddan?

The forehead ornament to their lineage, celebrated by the world, the senior Kōṭi-gāvuṇḍa was born. The Śiva temple and the Jain hall which he made were known across the world

The one who displays proper conduct on this path is his son, he shone, praised as the supreme, the senior Āyca. He became one in whom to seek refuge, that superior warrior, the wise father to all sects.

From the hero with violent arms, the lord who is known all over the circle of the earth, and to Baḷikaṁ-gāvuṇḍi was born the passionate lover of war, Toṇḍa, the master of his lineage.
