v2.c13.s1.57

The main temple of the eighth group is the temple Rājarāja. It has one lower and wider Jagaṭī which is as high as the knee, below, and in addition to, the Jagaṭī proper, whose height is one-third of the Prāsāda. This is, as usual, also the height of the Kaṭi. The Śikhara is described as having a Kuhara, the ‘cave’ or niche of the Śukanāsa. Connected with this temple and forming one consistent plan, is its Maṇḍapa. Similar small temples are attached in the four corners to the main temple. They too, have each a Maṇḍapa. All these temples are supported by the high Jagaṭī; steps lead up to it.
