## Bibliography

Unpublished inscription. Edition by Chloé Chollet based on photographs.

[1] It would be possible also to read vanditaś (“venerated”) Diwakar
points out that the theonym looks as if it might have been deliberately
chiselled away. Could the foundation have been rescinded or reattributed
? It looks as though śrīvāgīśvaram could have been written, since one
sees part of the lower loop of the r, which could have belonged to śrī,
and one sees an erased blob that is roughly the shape of a ga (before
śvaram). This, combined with the supposition that the donor’s name may
have been Vāgīśapaṇḍita, leads us to this guess. But note that
śrīvāgīśvaram (or śrīvāgeśvaram, to use a tantric form) would be
hypermetrical !
