________________ Lly a Vasahi] 4 Maham. Shri Rupāde (third wife of Jaitrasimba). It may be noted that the elephant in front of each of these niches, was in memory of the male member of the Tejapāla family, figuring in the corresponding niche. Thus the first elephant, according to the label below it, had on it a figure of Shri Chandapa, on the second rode Shrī Chandraprasāda, on the third was a figure of Shri Soma, and so on. The sequence is broken in the case of the tenth niche noted below since on the elephant was installed the figure of Maham. Lāvanyasimha (son of Tejapāla and Anupamādevī) while in the niche opposite is a portrait sculpture of Maham. Suhaďasimha. Niche X: . Maham.
