Details The inscription is on rectangular blocks of stone built one below the other into the right wall inside the maṇḍapa of the Kevala Narasiṃha temple of Rāmṭek. It is not clear from reports whether these are architectonic blocks or slabs were fixed to the wall. The lower block is broken vertically across the middle. The stones are here treated as a single object since they have a shared history and no individual data are reported about them.
