No. 86. Saìvat 39, Deupàòana, Paùupatinath. Inscription on the cross road near the western gate of Paùupati
| A slab of stone by the side of
the open temple of Ganeùa on the cross road not far away from the western gate of the
temple of Paùupati. The inscribed part is 34 cm wide and 68 cm long. On the top of the
stone is a reclining bull supposed to be the carrier of Ùiva. Gnoli says: 'I was unable
to take a rubbing of the last part of this inscription (lines 19-22), which is deeply
buried in the ground.' The rubbing published by BLI confirms his reading. But in 1953 when
I took the rubbing and up till now (1977) it is exposed to its full length. The
inscription is well preserved. The date is Saìvat 39 Vaiùàkha ùukla 10. (R). Ùrè Aìùuvarmman from Kailàsakóòa palace; Dutaka - Yuvaràja Udayadeva; svayam-àjãà.
