¹⁵⁷⁹ प्रासादं पुरुषोत्तमस्य नृपति को नाम कर्तुं क्षमस्तस्येत्याद्यनृपैरपेक्षितमयं चक्रेऽथ गङ्गेश्वरः॥ These verses establish that the shrine of Puruṣottama existed long before the date of the inscription and that the kings who preceded Coḍagaṅga did not care to build a befitting temple It appears that Coḍagaṅga built only the minor sanctum and the Jaganmohana i. e. the first maṇḍapa (vide R. D. Banerji's 'History of Orissa' vol. I. p. 251).
