## Commentary

See ARIE 1937–38 (p. 87, §23) notes:[1] “No. 468 dated in the 13th year
of an unspecified king, but which paleographically resembles the record
of Nandivarman noticed above [DHARMA_INSPallava00325], may be assigned
to the same king. This inscription gives the name of the god of Maṇalūr
as Tiru-Uḻutīśvarattu Mahādeva, i.e., Mahādeva of Uḷutīśvaram
(Rudreśvaram?), but the origin of this name is not clear.”
