v1.c6.s9.292

"This is the abode of Svayambhu Śiva, and no artificially made (dwelling); Srī, (if she could be) seen, (would be) such as this. Verily even the architect who built it felt astonishment, saying '(the utmost) perseverance would fail to accomplish such a work again; aho! how has it been achieved by me?' (and), by reason of it the king was caused to praise his name." Dr. Fleet.
(Skt. and Old Canarese Inscrip. no. cxxvii, line 14 f. Ind. Ant. vol. xii. pp. 159, 163. c.1).
