‘The pillar measures 5' 4½" by 1' 4" on the east face, 5' 6½" by 1' 4" on the west and 5' 5½" by 1' 3" on the north and south faces. It is surmounted by a pinnacle from which proceed in the eight directions eight petals, which open downwards and are slightly raised at the edges where they meet the margins of the pillar . . . The pillar was built into the floor of a maṇḍapa, in front of the Mallikārjuna temple at old Dharmapura.’—(H. Krishna Sastri, *Ep. Ind.*, Vol. x, p. 54.)
