Ambasamudram, Tirumūlanātha temple, no king, no year

Authors of digital edition: Valérie Gillet (vagi), Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: Door jamb reused as a threshold for the entrance of the shrine sheltering Viṣṇu. Too fragmentary to be able to prepare a meaningful edition. Unnoticed and unpublished. No regnal year of king but script pertaining to the 9th or 10th century.

Language: Tamil (tam).
