[Footnote 348:  This is only a very rough description of a rather complicated structure.  For details see Parmentier, Monuments Cams, planche XCVIII.]

[Footnote 352:  Yogaddhyana, Sivaradha, Sivabhakti.  See B.E.F.E.O. 1904, pp. 933-950.  Harivarman III abdicated in 1080 and gave himself up to contemplation and devotion to Siva.]

[Footnote 353:  See B.E.F.E.O. 1904, pp. 912 ff. and esp. p. 970.  I have seen a kosha which is still in use in the neighbourhood of Badami.  It is kept in a village called Nandikesvara, but on certain festivals it is put on a linga at the temple of Mahakut.  It is about 2 feet high and 10 inches broad; a silver case with a rounded and ornamented top.  On one side is a single face in bold embossed work and bearing fine moustaches exactly as in the mukhalingas of Champa.  In the tank of the temple of Mahakut is a half submerged shrine, from which rises a stone linga on which are carved four faces bearing moustaches.  There is said to be a gold kosha set with jewels at Sringeri.  See J.  Mythic.  Society (Bangalore), vol.  VIII. p. 27.  According to Gopinatha Rao, Indian Iconography, vol.  II. p. 63, the oldest known lingas have figures carved on them.]

[Footnote 361:  For his views see his inscriptions in B.E.F.E.O. 1904, pp. 85 ff.  But kings who are not known to have been Buddhists also speak of Dharma. B.E.F.E.O. 1904, pp. 922, 945.]

[Footnote 362:  Apparently special forms of deities such as Srisanabhadresvara or Lakshminda Lokesvara were regarded as to some extent separate existences.  Thus the former is called a portion of Siva, B.E.F.E.O. 1904, p. 973.]
