² In its neighbourhood Colonel Tod found an inscription, dated 746 of an era, not named, which at one time I thought might have been taken from this temple, and consequently might give its date about A.D. 689, which would fairly agree with the style, judged from that of some of the caves at Elûrâ, which it very much resembles. ‘Picturesque Illustrations of Ancient Architecture in Hindostan,’ plate 6, with description. Tod’s ‘Annals of Rajasthan,’ vol. ii. p. 734. His translation, however, was worthless; the date is more probably of A.D. 824.—‘Indian Antiquary,’ vol. v. pp. 180f.
