TRANSLATION

The son of Devavrdha was Babhru. Concerning Devavrdha and
Babhru there are two famous songs of prayer, which were sung by
our predecessors and which we have heard from a distance. Even
now I hear the same prayers about their qualities [because that
which was heard before is still sung continuously].
