Translation. Adityasena of great renown, the ruler of the earth to 
the verge of the ocean, the performer of the horse and other great sacri¬ 
fices, became king. His vigour was as great as that of the immortals. In the 
Krita age, issuing forth from the Ohola metropolis, after performing the 
horse-sacrifice three times, giving three lakhs and thirty thousand golden 
coins to great sages, performing the Tula ceremony a thousand times over, 
during which he gave away a krore of horses, he, jointly with his queen 
Ivoshadevi, performed this noble deed. Having consecrated it through 
noble Brahmanas, the king himself laid down the divine road for the good 
of the three worlds by establishing this abode of Nrihari. This Varaha, the 
giver of enjoyment and salvation, was established by Balabliadra, for the 
translation of his parents to heaven, and for their welfare on the earth. 
This is the chapter on Mandaragiri.” 
The purport of this Vaishnavite inscription shows that it has been 
brought away from the Mandar hill, where Balabhadra, a Chola king, had 
dedicated images of the boar and the man-lion incarnations, and stuck up 
here as a curiosity. It has no connection with the temple of Vaidyanatha. 
No. 1. 
The temple of Kali has two inscriptions, one over the doorway, and the 
other on the left hand pier. The former comprises five lines in relief 
Nagari letters, each over two inches in height, and divided into two por¬ 
tions by a perpendicular line in the middle. The left hand portion gives 
some dates, and the right hand portion the name of Harinatha. The 
purport of the record is not very clear. It appears in the form of a 
prophecy. Reading the record along with No. 5, I am disposed to think 
that the temple was undertaken by Harinatha in 1613, and completed by 
Jayandrayana in 1712 A. D.
