To perggade Machiraja and Marudevi was born Chamale. That Chamiyakka's
brothers were Chaunda and Buchryana. On Nayaklrtti going to the sky,
Chamiyakka made many gifts and performed works of merit. And securing
the fame that none before were like her in the Bharadvaja-g6tra, that Chamale
gained glory as the Jinalaya of Tagadur rose up like the starry mountain.
And for the eight manner of ceremonies of the Jina worship, for gifts of food
to the munis, and for repairs of that Jina chaityalaya, Soba-Gaunda's sons
Raya-Gavunda and Mallaya-Nayaka made grants of Tagadur and Bammagutti
for the basadi, to continue as long as earth, sun, moon, stars and Meru
endure. And for the Jina worship llaya-Gavunda gave the land at the kodi
to Kalyanakirtti-munipa. Also other grants. Kalyanakirtti's praise. Usual
