"Glory to the king Malla Deb, who by virtue of his mercy, is kind to the people, who in archery is like Arjun, and in charity like Dadhichi and Karna; he is like an ocean of all goodness, and he is versed in many *sāstras*; his character is excellent; in beauty he is as bright as Kandarpa, he is a worshipper of Kāmākhya. His younger brother Sukladeb built this temple of bright stones on the Nila hillock, for the worship of the goddess Durgā, in 1487 Sak (1565 A.D.). His beloved brother Sukladhvaj again, with universal fame, the crown of the greatest heroes, who, like the fabulous Kalpataru, gave all that was devoutly asked of him, the chief of all devotees of the goddess, constructed this beautiful temple with heaps of stones on the Nila hill in 1487 Sak."
