दीर्घजंघाझ्यस्तालद्रुमारूढा इवोच्चकैः ।। ज्वालामुखेन मुञ्चन्तो जठराग्निरिइवायताः । ते प्रभु परितोऽधावन् सारमेया इव द्विपम् ।। प्रभुस्तै रपि नाक्षुभ्यल्लीनो ध्यानसुधाहदे ।
विशेषेण ततः ऋद्धो मेघमाल्यसुरः स्वयम् । मेघान्विचके नभसि कालरात्रिसहोदरान् ।।
स्वामी रत्नशिलास्तम्भ इवांभस्यपि निश्चलः । नासाग्रन्यस्तदृग्ध्यानान्मनागपि चचाल न । आनासान यावर्दभः श्रीपाश्र्वस्वामिनोऽभवत् । धरणस्योरगेन्द्रस्यासनं तावदकम्पयत् ॥
cor: Farfe SFATEC उन्नालमंबुजं तुगं केवल्यासनसन्निभम् ॥ पृष्ठपाश्र्वोरः पिदधे स स्वभोगेन योगिराट् ।। फणश्च सप्तभिश्च्छवं चकार शिरसि प्रभोः ।
धरणेन्द्र महिष्योऽपि श्रीपालस्वामिनः पुरः। विदधुर्गीतनृत्यादि भक्तिभावितचेतसः ।। ध्यानलीनः प्रभुश्चास्थान्निबिशेषो द्वयोरपि । नागाधिराजे धरणे मेघमालिनि चासुरे ।।

There is predominance of copper in the alloy and it looks like made of copper mostly. It is unlike all Jaina bronzes known so far, especially in the treatment of physiognomy and limbs, except the figure of Parsvanatha
in the Pudukkottai Museum. 316. Jain, Niraj, Tulsi Samgrahalaya, Ramvan kä Jaina
