(58) ‘In order that they both might acquire merit (the couple), in-formed the guru that they would erect a māna-stambha in front of the Nemiśvara chaityālaya which their grandfather, Yojana Śreshṭhi, had built. . . . On a propitious day they carried out their promise and had a pillar of bell-metal made. Meanwhile, to Devarasa were born twin daughters, Padmarasi and Devarasi, and taking that as an auspicious omen, they had the bell-metal pillar, which had been made, set up in front of the chaityālaya. And upon the pillar they fixed a golden kalaśa of the same height as that of the twins, Padmarasi and Devarasi.
