Almost similar finds have been made inside the fortification to the n. of a Jaina temple. The cutting (BNV-3) taken down to the natural soil was confined to a small area of 2 × 2 m bringing to light the remains of an ancient temple with a pedestalled \*linga\* to the n.-w. of BNV-3 adjacent to the brick fortification. This has revealed a square inscribed pillar of granite describing the victory of Mṛgeśavarman over the Pallavas and also mentions the names of Kākusthavarman, Śāntivarman and Mṛgeśavarman of the Kadamba dynasty. - [Previous: v2.c29.219](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29.219) - [Next: v2.c29.221](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29.221) - [Up: v2.c29](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29.220](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29.220) · Pramāṇa
