VIJAYAWADA |
|
|
| There is an
inscription in the temple, of the 9th century A.D., in the usual Telugu script. The
inscription is strangely recorded from bottom upwards. Its purport is to say that a
certain Thrikoti Boyi or Trikoti Boyu, the son of Kaliyama-Boy of Pechchevada, set up the
pillar as a commemoration of his own fame, in order to secure distinction for his race.
The Thrikoti Boyi is identified in the inscription with a Guhyaka Yaksha, who in
Dwaparayuga was directed by Indra to direct Arjuna to Indrakila hill, where Arjuna should
worship the Lord Siva in order to obtain Pasupatha from him.
