Quite a rare relief!
It is mentioned that this relief is Panjaksharar!
Panchakshara (Sanskrit: เคชเคเฅเคเคพเคเฅเคทเคฐ, meaning "five syllables") primarily refers to the sacred five-syllable mantra associated with God Shiva, "Namah Shivaya".
When prefixed with the primordial sound "Om", it becomes the six-syllable mantra, "Om Namah Shivaya".
The five syllables in the mantra are:
Na
Ma
ลi (or Si)
Vฤ (or Va)
Ya
