The son of this
Sukladhwaj was King Raghudeb, who was like the greatest man of the Raghu race: his glories
spread out in all directions; the Lord of Kamarupa, in obedience to the order of the
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 Sukladhwaj, a king was born of the name of
Raghudeb, who consoles innumerable persons and is a worshipper of the feet of Krishna; the
king coming of age has a temple built on the hillock called Mani hillock in 1505 Saka
(1583 A.D.). The most skilled and efficient artisan Sridhar himself built it."30

Edition) P. 64
