v2.c31.65

There is no epigraphic support for Hemacandra's account of this war of Mūlarāja. The latter's pilgrimage to Somanātha however is supported by Merutuṅga who tells us that Mūlarāja went "every Monday on a pilgrimage to Someśvarapattana,² out of devotion to the god Śiva, and Somanātha was so pleased with his devotion that after informing him of his intention, he came to the town of Maṇḍalī. The king caused there to be built the Mūleśvara temple." Bühler has pointed out that this Mūleśvara is evidently to be identified with Mūlanāthadeva to which Mūlarāja assigned the village of Kamboïkā by his Kadi grant, dated V.S. 1043.³
