. King Maha sammatha
Setting aside the kings who reigned in the past kappa, to whatever forms of existence they may have passed, I shall completely enumerate the kings of the present kappa.Their descent, their name and tribe, their age and (the length of) their reign, all that I will proclaim, listen to it according to the truth.
The first inaugurated king, a ruler of the earth,
full of brilliancy, prince Mahasammata by name, reigned over his kingdom.
