SANSCIIIT INSCRIPTIONS 



61. Tejap ALA, tli6 friend of the king of the earth, erected the temple o? Neniindth 

 with massive stones, as white as the conch, the jasmine, or the lunar ray : in front of it he 

 constructed a pavihon : by the side of it, fifty-two places for the reception of the chief 

 Jainas; a Batanaka* in the front. 



62. The son of Chandapa was Chadaprasada ; Soma, was his son, and his son was 

 Aswaraja; his four sons were Luniga, Malladeva, Vastupala, and Tejapala : Jaitra 

 SiNHA was the son of Vastupala and Lavanya Sink, the son of Tejapala.

 sons radiant as the sun and moon : the marvellously virtuous Santi Suri and Ananda
