The proper object of the inscription is to record that this last king founded a temple of Śauri (Viṣṇu), before which he erected the *Garuḍa-dhvaja* pillar on which it was engraved. The first part of the inscription (lines 1-31) ends here. The second part (lines 32-38), which appears to have been added as post-script, then seems to record the installation of an image of Viṣṇu.¹ The date, (V) *Saṁvat* 917 (A.D. 861), comes at the end of the first part (line 31).²
