v2.c17.s1.92

[92] The name of the temple in the mouth of the people is invariably Mukteśvara, the “Lord of the emancipated,” (*mukta*); and in two manuscript works, the *Ekāmra Purāṇa* and the *Ekāmra-candrikā*, I have found this name reproduced, but in a second codex of the *Candrika*, and in that of the *Sarṇārdri-mahodadhi*, I find it written Muktiśvara or “the lord of salvation,” (*mukti*.) Either name may be correct, but which was first applied to the temple I cannot determine.
