V. 60 announces that for the religious merit of his wife (Anupamā) and son (Lāvaṇyasiṁha) Tejaḥpāla built this temple of Neminātha on Arbuda. It was built of white marble and had 52 shrines for the Jinas. There were besides 10 statues of the members of Tejaḥpāla's family (Nos. 1-10) mounted on female elephants. Behind these statues, on *khaṭṭakas* of white marble the same persons were placed with their wives. The *praśasti* was composed by Someśvaradeva whose feet were honoured by the Caulukya king. It was engraved by the *Sūtra*(*dhāra*) Caṇḍeśvara. It is dated in the last line (47) in V. S. 1287 (A.D. 1230).¹
