v1.c32.2

The dedication of 8 Prāsādas to each of the principal members of Hindu Pantheon—Śiva, Viṣṇu, Brahmā, Sūrya, Durgā, Gaṇeśa, and Lakṣmī together with the common mass of divinity—Sarvadevas, is made. The opening lines hint at the origin of these temples as having come down from Brahmā through Viśvakarmā.
