Inscription inscribed on the base in nagari, reads:
śrī madanimalla ściraṃ jayatu, śake 1234
“May Śrī Madanimalla live long: Saka (samvat)1234” (1312 CE)

Madani Malla may be a queen of Ripu Malla . This was the same year that king Ripu Malla left a graffiti inscription śrī ripumalla ściraṃ jayatu on the Ashokan pillar of Niglihawa, in the Nepal Terai, which is the same inscription of the main fig. 5 Nairatma and also fig. 8 White Tara.
