Commentary
According to Krishna Sastri 1918, the inscription is on the south wall of the maṇḍapa in front of the central shrine, which seems to mean the southern wall of the mahāmaṇḍapa.
In July 2024, we observed that two inscribed blocks making this inscription are found disonnected and disordered. The blocks no. 1 and no. 3 were found on the western wall of the mahāmaṇḍapa, respectively on its southern edge and on its northern edge. Other blocks could not be traced. We presume that there were at least four blocks. The temple indeed has been renovated in 1960. This would account for the fact that these blocks are now found disonnected and disordered.
There are two gap in the inscription, consisting in two missing inscribed blocks: block no. 2 and block no. 4. The latter could also be missing before block no. 1, in which case, the present block numbering should be revised (no. 4 becoming no. 1 and nos. 1-3 becoming nos. 2-4).
