Śrīpura-Nirmāṇa-Prastāva (Inquiry into Śrīpura and its Construction) / “The Proposal to Build Śrīpura”
तदा देवा महेन्द्राद्याः सन्तोषं बहु भेजिरे / अथ कामेश्वरस्यापि ललितायाश्च शोभनम् / नित्योपभोगसर्वार्थं मन्दिरं कर्तुमुत्सुकाः
tadā devā mahendrādyāḥ santoṣaṃ bahu bhejire / atha kāmeśvarasyāpi lalitāyāśca śobhanam / nityopabhogasarvārthaṃ mandiraṃ kartumutsukāḥ
Then the devas, led by Mahendra, were filled with great delight. Thereafter, eager to build a splendid temple-palace for Kāmeśvara and the radiant Lalitā, for perpetual enjoyment and every purpose, they set their hearts upon it.
