‘In addition to recording . . . the re-admission into caste of the artisans of the locality, this inscription (no. 100) gives several titles of the builder of the temple. Among them is that of Sarva-siddhi-Āchārya. The Sarva-siddhi-Āchāryas are mentioned again in no. cxiv below, and seem to have been some celebrated guild of architects or builders.’ (Dr. Fleet, *Ind. Ant.*, Vol. x, p. 164, c. 2, para. 2.)
