v2.c13.s1.84

The Sarvatobhadra is the one hundred and first, the temple of temples of the ‘Viṣṇudharmottara’; the description of 100 temples precedes it. Sum total of the groups that had gone to its making, it is closely allied in plan to temples in Kashmir (Avantisvāmī Temple) and Mysore (Keśava T., Somnathpur).¹⁰ The Alaṃkāras or adornments of its superstructure however, the Āmalakas, Gavākṣas, Jālas, etc., are not seen on the temples of Mysore and, excepting the Āmalaka and a modification of the Gavākṣa, they are absent from the temples of Kashmir. Where in reality the Sarvatobhadra of the ‘Viṣṇudharmottara’ was built and when, cannot be said as yet.
