(11) Maṇi-kuṭṭima—‘ jewel-paved floor.’ ‘ And it must have been an uncommonly magnificent building, for nearly the sixth part of whole inscription (of 103 lines) is devoted to its description, and its erection is the only deed of the king, which the author has thought worth mentioning. The temple spoken of here must, therefore, necessarily be that splendid Śiva temple which, according to the Baroda-grant was built by Kṛishṇa on the hill of Etāpura, the modern Elurā.’—(Kadaba plates of Prabhūtavarsha, line 34, *Ep. Ind.*, Vol. iv, p. 337 and note 2 ; *Ind. Ant.*, Vol. xii, p. 159 and p. 228 f.)
