अयोध्यापुरतो देवि दक्षिणे पूर्वदिग्गते। नारयणपुरे रम्ये राजपुत्रोऽभवत्तदा ॥ २ ॥

स्वकर्मनिस्तो दान्तः प्रजपोषणतत्परः । नामतश्चलसिंहेति तस्य पत्नी प्रभावती ॥ ३॥

He was very prompt in fulfilling his deeds, self-restraint and was giving utmost importance in looking after the people in the city. Chola Simha was his name and his wife was Prabhavati.||3||

Days passed by but Chola Simha was still heavy Hearted and with his wife went to Prayaag. On an auspicious day of Makara Sankranti in Prayaag Chola Simha blissfully decided to cast out his body and did the same together with his wife.||8||
