“There was a ruler of the earth named Bisva Singh; his illustrious son, the most wise king Malla Deb, was the conqueror of all enemies. In gravity and liberality and for heroism he had a great reputation, and he was purified by religious and pious deeds. After him was born his brother Sukladhvāj, who subdued many countries. The son of this Sukladhvāj was king Raghu Deb, who was like the greatest man of the Raghu race: his glories spread out in all directions; the lord of Kāmarupa, in obedience to the order of destiny, is the slayer of the wicked, who was like water to the flames of the fire of sorrow of the vast populace. Of the seed of Sukladhvāj, a king was born of the name of Raghu Deb, who consoles innumerable persons and is a worshipper of the feet of Krishna; the king coming of age had a temple built on the hillock called Mani hillock in 1505 Sak (1583 A.D.). The most skilled and efficient artisan Sridhar himself built it.”
