"Fourteen storeys rise above the earth and seven thousand pillars, In row after row, while eighteen hundred statues studded with emeralds adorn it. It is endowed with thirty thousand flagstaffs with stems carved and leaves of gold. Seven thousand sculptured elephants and horses stand in attendance on Rudra. Seeing it all, Gods and men get struck with wonder and are greatly charmed, JayasiMha has built a temple which excites the envy of emperors. The sculptured elephants and lions trumpet and roar, all around, again and again, The golden kalašas glitter on the maNDapa upheld by numerous pillars. The statues sing and dance and roll their eyes, So that even the Gods jump with joy and blow their conches. The ecstatic dance of Gods is watched by Gods and men who crowd around, That is why the Bull, O Sidha! O King of Kings! is feeling frightened."
