Annual Report of the Mysore Archaeological Department for the year 1932

1935

Numerous smaller grants to the temple are recorded in the many inscriptions engraved on the outer cornices and on the pillars and walls of the navarailga : one of these records the presentation of a golden Lakshmi image to the god ; another mentions that there was a shrine for the junior goddess on the nortwest of the temple. [...] The noteworthy fact is that owing to the heavy weight above the top portion of the pillar whose cup-shaped bottom rests on the bulging neck of the shaft has crushed the neck revealing the defective method of joining the parts of the pillars. [...] R. Narasimhachar has noted the great similarity between the pillars of the southern porch and those of the SOrnègvara temple at Kurudumale which latter belongs to the period of Ilavafiji Väsudèva Raya a ChOla Viceroy under the Ballälas in the latter part of the 13th century. [...] 2 The mouse in the Mahrl-Ggiapati temple at Kurudumale is also caparisoned.13 show on the bulging belly and the conventionalised representation of the folds of the devotee appear on the lower limbs. [...] The need for a light coin of smaller value than the Fanam and sufficiently large to be freely handled would appear to have led to the issue of the Tar ' the use of silver being perhaps suggested by the example of the Moslem Kingdom of the north.
