Notes

  1. 1. Alternatively: Prosperity! The great Pallava king [...] Māmalla.
  2. 2. Sanskrit Mahāmalla.
  3. 3. That is 39, disambiguated as 39 proprer (SII 7.41) and 39-A (SII 7.42), when Subrahmanya Aiyer 1932 edited these inscriptions and realized that more than one inscription was registered under number 39.
