Verse 4 contains an adoration to the three Jinas, whose images are stated to have been made by the mason (sūtradhārin) Sīlāśrī (possibly Sanskrit Śilāśrī) who was a son of the mason (sūtardhara) Dāṃdi.
The inscription (mentioning Sīlāśrī) was found found on the pedestal below the central figure of a group of three images of Jain Tīrthaṅkaras in a small temple outside the fort at Shergarh (ancient Kośavardhana). The three Tīrthaṅkaras represented are Śānti (Śāntinātha), Kunthu or Kunthanātha and Ara (Aranātha).
