Kavyanusasana minister for his negligence in allowing the temple to delapidate ( 63 ).
The minister Vägbhța then reminds the king of Someşvara, and Kumārapāla orders that, that temple be also rebuilt. ( 94 ) The minister, under orders from the king, calls his men and instructs them to build the temples of Kedāra and Someşvara (65). The artisans go there (96) and we are informed that the 'artists built that pair of temples' ( 97 ).
Then we are told that Kumārapāla receiving blessings from Arhatas built a temple with gold and jewels containing an image of Pārsvanátha made of sphatika stone. This temple, according to the commentary, was built in Aṇahillapura (98). Another temple of Pārsvanātha was built in Șrī Devapattana (99).
When these temples were built travellers everywhere were talking like this: Have you, my good friend! heard of the city of Someșvara ? Have you been there? Have you gone, good man! to the wide city of Gurjaras? Have you seen the beautiful temple known as Kumāra-Vihāra ? ( 100 ). +
At the desire of Sambhu to stay in Aşahillapura expressed in a dream, Kumārapāla built a temple to that god known as Kumārapāleşvara (101). The sages bless and praise Kumārapāla and ask him to inaugurate an era after his name as he had freed the earth from debts ( 102 ).
