To him was born the son, King Keśavadeva, who had great energy, called Govinda for cowherdess that were his enemies and the Lord of trees that were heroes, whose feet were decorated by crest jewels of kings.
By whose virtues pleasing to listen, virtuous people are drawn from all around. After coming to the fulfilment of their wish, best brāhmaṇas did not remember their native land.
When he was ruling the earth, kings did not go to sleep even in night, thinking over goods to give to that cause of delight
That king of kings, who had an abundance of army consisting of troops of innumerable great ships, foot soldiers, horses and rutting elephants, cleansed the earth by his fame pure like white waterlily.

His two halas of land with homestead placed in line with creek should be protected.
The wife of the demised rājaputra, who is the guardian of family, and a child installed as the son of the both should also be protected.
The ādeśika
Either given by himself or given by the others, the one who stole land, he would be boiled with his ancestors after becoming an insect in excreta.
Illustrious Mādhava, wise, the garland of the Dāsa family, created this eulogy. As long as oceans and mountains exist, may this praise also be victorious on the earth!
