Commissioner Amita, the commander of the king Ballāḷa II Hoysala
Topic The temple of Amṛteśvara was erected in 1197 by one of the commanders of Ballāḷa II, Amita , who is the central character of the inscription together with the Hoysaḷa kings. Amita belonged to a merchant community and was probably in charge of this area. Hoysala Ballāḷa II is represented in this long inscription (one-hundred and twenty-line) as the higher instance from whom the power comes, from whom Amita is to receive the god. Structure of the inscription: 1 invocation to Śiva 2- Brief praise (praśāsti) and invocation of protection for Amita, the commander and donor. 3- Genealogy of the Hoysaḷa with an account of the foundation legend, and long excursus on the figures of Ballāḷa II 4- Genealogy and praise of the brothers of the commander Amita and long praise of the commander himself. 5- Account of the erection of the temple and donation of the land. 6- Colophon, i.e. statement of the authors of the inscription. Final verse and further names of the recipients of the donation.
