"ऐहोल अन्थाइ खाम्फायाव खन्थाइनि रावै बुंनाय जादोंदि पुलकेशीनि मैदेरफोरखौ नर्मदा दैमा सेराव विंध्य हाजोनि सेरफाङाव बासायनांदोंमोन, मानोना बिथांमोनहा "ज'ज'है हाजोजोंनो जुजिदोंमोन।"
The Aihole inscription poetically states that Pulakeshin's elephants had to avoid the neighbourhood of the Vindhya mountains beside the Narmada River, because they "by their bulk, rivalled the mountains".
