Jagannath, one of the names of Krishna, an avatar of Vishnu

(literally) lord of universe

As I have by my own good fortune and exertions accumulated a large treasure, viz. forty lacs of marhs of gold taken from the countries of the conquered bhuniyas, and jewels to the value of seven lacs eighty-eight thousand marhs, it is now my intention to devote a portion to the service of Jagannáth, by building a new temple one hundred cubits high, and bestowing a quantity of ornaments and utensils.
