Words not familiar to the average English speaker

There are many words in this article that are not meaningful to the ordinary English speaker. Most readers will not even know what language they are, but they mostly look like technical terms relating to Jain and possibly other Indian temple architecture and religious matters. Please provide links to an explanation or provide the explanation in the article for each one where it is not obvious from the context what it means. A glossary may be appropriate. · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 05:31, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

History

I'm copyediting this article and I'm a bit confused by the History portion - did he initially approve the funding, and then spend the money, without first receiving direct authorization from the king? and then the king didn't get upset about it but was instead glad the temple was built? Just double-checking that that is indeed the correct connotation, because I don't have any of the cited sources here in front of me to check myself. Alexcs114 :) 06:29, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

Like, it seems to me that he approved the spending after the temple was already built, which doesn't make much sense. A LOT more detail is needed here. Alexcs114 :) 06:31, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for copyediting.

• Sajjana, the governor appointed by king, built the temple using state fund without authorization. When king came to know about it and visited the temple, Sajjana told him that the temple is named after king's father Karna. So the king was pleased and he approved the spending of state funds. As an alternative, if king had not approved the spending, Sajjana had told Jains of Vanthali to raise the funding to be ready for return to state treasury. Hope it clarifies.
• You have removed Vikram Samvat dates. These dates were related to inscriptions and literary works. Was it necessary? It was cluttering the article but I had kept as seemed important to me.
