The four inscriptions incised on the four columns in the 

 back have no particular interest. Tbey simply record the 

 names of the benefactors that caused the columns in question 

 to be made. Two columns were caused to be made by a 

 certain Sthiradeva, son of Yasodhavala, and presented to the 

 temple in the year [Vikrama— ] Samvat 1244 Magha sudi 10 



(somavare) 



Yasascandra and 



his daughter Dudi, in the year [Vikrama—] Samvat 1248, 

 Vaisakha sudi 4 (sukradine). The two inscriptions on the 

 back of the two former columns are identical, and so are the 

 other two, so that we have practically only two inscriptions. 

 Under each of the inscriptions the figure of a sankha is incised. 

 From the evidence of these inscriptions it is clear that the 

 antechamber of the temple was not completed till at least the 

 year [Vikrama—] Samvat 1248. It follows that the first 

 inscription of Sodhaladeva, which records a grant made in the 

 year [Vikrama — ] Samvat 1241, must have been engraved on 

 the temple some time after this date.
