Le roi Lalitāṁkura a fait construire cet édifice nommé Avanibhājana-Pallaveśvara¹,

Telle une corbeille faite à sa volonté, pour recueillir les joyaux de ses bonnes actions.

Commentary

(1–2) Lalitāṅkura and Avanibhājana are birudas of the Pallava Mahendravarman I.

(2) Avanibhājanapallaveśvara means "[the temple of] the Lord (that is, Śiva) of the Pallava Avanibhājana (that is, Mahendravarman I Pallava)", that is, alternatively "[the temple of] Śiva [founded by] the Pallava Avanibhājana".
