Uchchair maṁḍapaṁ agrato Jina-(varā)-vāsa-dvi-paṁchā-śataṁ tat-pārśveshu balānakaṁ cha purato nishpādayāmāsivān ||
"The minister Tejaḥpāla, a moon on earth, erected the temple of the Lord 'Nemi, which shines by lines of stones as white as conch-shells (and) is resplendent like the moon and jasmine flowers, a lofty hall (maṇḍapa) in front (of it), fifty-two shrines for the best of the Jinas on the sides of it, and a seat (? balānaka) in the front."
(Mount Abu Inscrip. no. I, v. 61, Ep. Ind. vol. VIII. pp. 212, 218).
