lalitāṁkurena lalitāṁkurena The anusvāra seems to be above the character tā. °bhājana° °bhājana° svedhā° svedhcchā° This correction by Hultzsch might be unnecessary, as we can somehow make sense of the original text.

Le roi Lalitāṁkura a fait construire cet édifice nommé Avanibhājana-PallaveśvaraIl s’agit là d'un biruda de Mahendravarman, signifiant :« possesseur de la Terre »., Telle une corbeille faite à sa volonté, pour recueillir les joyaux de ses bonnes actions.

Lalitāṅkura and Avanibhājana are birudas of the Pallava Mahendravarman I.

Avanibhājanapallaveśvara means "the temple of the Lord that is, Śiva of the Pallava Avanibhājana that is, Mahendravarman I Pallava", that is, alternatively "the temple of Śiva founded by the Pallava Avanibhājana".
