The king having given it him with pouring of water, he received Kembala,
and with great festivities made it the village of vira-Lakshmi-Narasimba.
And having set up (the god) vira-Lakshmi-Narasimha, built for it a temple.
And obtaining wealth, for the learned, dependents, guests, and those of high
caste, he constructed in the agrahara large tanks like the seven seas, and
built in the middle the Vishnu temple.
And that Visvanatha-deva's wife Gauri bore to him the sons Raya and
Narasimha. And to his father's younger brother Visvanatha-Devanna and his
wife Sinyavve were born two sons who received the twin names Echana and
Rayana. Being highly pleased with their good work, the king Nrisimha
favoured them with the rank of chief treasury inspectors. And when the
.younger Rayanna obtained a son Visvanatha, the family of the srikarana
Visvanatha was the most fortunate in the world.
Be it well. When, (with usual titles, including) uprooter of the Magara
kingdom, the establisher of the Chola kingdom, the nissanka-pratapa-chakravartti
Hoysana vira-Narasimha-deva, in marching upon Magara, having journeyed to
Chudavadiya-koppa, was ruling the kingdom of the world, and holding a festival
on addmg to his necklace the emerald which came from Munivaraditya,—he
directed the dweller at his lotus feet, the srikarana Visvanatha-deva, saying
"You make Kembala in Nirugunda-nad an agrahara";—whereupon, (on the
date specified), in the presence of the gods Vajresvara and Narasimha, receiving
with pouring of water Kembala, with the hamlets from old time included
in its boundaries, and obtaining a copper sasana fixing the rent, together with
the first bali, at 100 gadyana, gave it the name of Vira-Narasimha-pura, made
it an agrahara, constructed tanks, and set up the god vira-Lakslimi-Narasimha.
For the decorations and vessels of that god he gave 2 shares rent free: and for
realising the fixed rent laid down in the sasana gave 62 shares to Biahmans
versed in the sastras, together with houses, vessels, and ornaments: total
64 shares.
And the Biahmans of that agrahara, at the consecration of the god
Lakshmi-Narasimha, made grants of land (specified) for the offerings and
perpetual lamp. Also they granted the dues for marriage, investiture of the
sacred thread, and agra-puje, 1 pa; for worship of the feet at the sale of shares,
1 pa; 1 rent-free loom; 1 oil-mill; and the duty on manure pits.
