The direct object of it is to record the completion of the temple, as a shrine of Jinêndra, by a Jain named Ravikîrti, in Kaliyuga-Saṁvat 3735, and Saka-Saṁvat 556, expired, = A. D. 634-35,³ while Pulikêśin II. was still reigning at Bâdâmi. And it is also of considerable interest from a literary point of view: for, the composer of it, Ravikîrti himself, claims equality of fame with the poets Kâlidâsa and Bhâravi; thus shewing that the names of these two poets were already well known, and their fame established, in A. D. 634-35, and fixing a limit later than which they cannot be placed. - [Previous: c8.s12.190](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s12.190) - [Next: c8.s12.192](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s12.192) - [Up: c8.s12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s12) ## Cites (1) - [Aihole](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.aihole) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s12.191](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s12.191) · Pramāṇa
