## Edition

⟨1⟩ Idaṁ bhagavata(ḥ) puruṣottamasya viṣṇor
anādi-nidhanasyāśeṣa-bhuvana⟨2⟩guroḥ pūjā-sthānam· śrī-prakāśadharmmaṇā
kāritam· ∥ ↝

## Apparatus

⟨2⟩ -sthānam· ⬦ °sthānaṁ Huber 1911.

## Translation

This place of worship (pūjā-sthāna)[1] of Lord Viṣṇu, the Supreme Man
(puruṣottama), without beginning or end, who is the teacher of all
worlds, has been made to the order of Śrī Prakāśadharman.

## Commentary

The inscription is in prose. It seems to be the only prose inscription
issued under Vikrāntavarman-Prakāśadharman. The epithets of Viṣṇu seen
here may he compared to those seen in C. 173.
