> Bhṛgu, Cyavana, Āpnavāna, Aurva, and Purodhasa; / Śīharī is to be known as the first, and Yakṣiṇī as the second.  
> The brahmins born in this gotra are endowed with wealth and grain, / indignant, devoid of greed, yet full of malice and deceitful,  
> harmful and lusting for wealth—so they are described by me, O king.  
> Thus is the ninth location. (9)  
> In Kaṇṭavāḍīā village are brahmins born of the Kuśa gotra and the Śukla lineage; / I shall declare its pravara; listen, O best of kings:  
> Viśvāmitra, Devarāta, and Udala are remembered as the three; / Cacāī is declared as their goddess; listen, O best of kings!  
> There they sacrifice with rituals, their minds rejoiced and focused; / brahmins skilled in all sciences and speakers of truth.  
> Thus is the tenth location. (10)  
> Those born in the Kutsa lineage have been declared by me as Vekhaloyā; / they are endowed with three pravaras; listen, O best of kings:  
> Viśvāmitra, Devarāja, and Udala are remembered as the three. / Cacāī is remembered as their goddess, the protectress of the family.  
> Brahmins of great soul, full of purity and endowed with virtue, / ascetics and yogins, mastering the Vedas and Vedāṅgas,  
> virtuous, of good conduct, devoted to devotion to Viṣṇu, / ever intent on ritual bath and twilight worship, devoted to feeding brahmins,  
> are proclaimed by me in this lineage; listen further beyond this.  
> Thus is the eleventh location. (11)  
> Those declared as Dehaloḍīā are endowed with the Kutsa pravaras: / Āṅgirasa, Ambarīṣa, and Yuvanāśva as the third.  
> The gotra goddess has been proclaimed by me as Śrī-Śeṣadurbalā. / Those born in the Kutsa lineage are of good conduct, speaking the truth,  
> accustomed to Vedic study, yet looking only for faults in others, / indignant, free from fickleness, yet malicious and deceitful,  
> harmful, and lusting for wealth—those born of Kutsa.  
> Thus is the twelfth location. (12)
