(33) ‘According to Mr. Rice, the inscription (Talagunda pillar inscription of Kakusthavarman) is engraved on a pillar of very hard grey granite, which stands in front of the ruined Prabhaveśvara temple at Talagunda, in the Shikarpur Taluk of the Shimoga District of the Mysore State. The pedestal of the pillar is 5 feet. 4 inches high and 1 foot 4 inches at the top, a little more at the base. The shaft is ocatgonal, 6 feet 4 inches high (‘judging by the length of the lines, the shaft must really be slightly higher”). Each face being 7 inches wide, but tapering slightly towards the top.’ (Prof. Kielhorn, *Ep. Ind.*, Vol. viii, p. 24.)
