(Corresponds with No. 6 above, as far as the birth of Nnsimha and
Krishna-Raya; then continues) and Ranga-kshitindra and Achyuta-Deva-Raya
were born to Narasa by Obambika. (After descubiog the reigns of Narasimha
and Krishna-Raya as in No. 6, continues)—
The world of gods having been taken as his portion by Krishna-Raya, after
him his younger brother (anujantna), of meritorious deeds, Achyutendra, took the
world of the earth for his portion, subduing his enemies, surpassing India, and
bestowing their desires on the learned. The ocean, which of old Agastya had
swallowed and which was dried up by the fire-arrow of Raghava and the flames of
the submarine fire, was filled again with the streams pouted forth with his rich
gifts. A king famed for virtue and justice, seated on the brilliant jowel-throne
of Vijayanagara, putting to shame by his regal policy Nriga, Nala, Nahusha
and others, Achyutendra was the abode of unequalled valour and generosity.
Establishing the body of his fame in the earth, Achyutendra gained the
feet of Vishnu; when his son, famous for valour, Venkata-Deva-Raya, seated
himself on his auspicious throne. Venkata-Raya was thus ruling the kingdom,
his form like Manmatha, an abode of learning, when, to the misfortune of his
subjects, he before long ascended to Indra's abode.
The pearl from the womb of Timmamba, the son of Ranga-kshitindra, was
then anointed to the throne by Rama-Raja his sister's hushand,—an ornament
of Kshatiiyas, protector of the fortunes of the Karnata kingdom, noted for
valour, generosity and mercy,—and the chief ministers. And Sadasiva-maharaya,
(thus) seated on the throne of a great kingdom, the ornament of Vidyanagara,
like the tree of plenty in Suragiri, having destroyed all his enemies, brought
into subjection the whole land from setu to Himadri, and ruled for a long time.
At his anointing the tears of joy shed by his subjects anointed the Earth as
his queen.—(Further praises, among which it says that) the Kambhdja, Bhoja,
Kalinga, Karahata and other kings acted as servants in his female apartments.
