SII 1.31: original edition by Eugen Hultzsch – PART I. SANSKRIT INSCRIPTIONS. I. INSCRIPTIONS OF THE PALLAVA DYNASTY. No. 31. A PALLAVA INSCRIPTION IN A CAVE-TEMPLE NEAR PANAMALAI.

Editor: Emmanuel Francis.

Identifier: DHARMA_INSSIIv01p0i0031.

Summary: A facsimile of this inscription was kindly forwarded to me by Mr. Rāghavendrāchārya of Vānūr. It consists of one Sanskrit verse, which is identical with the last verse of Rājasiṁha’s large inscription at Kañchī (No. 24, above). Hence it may be concluded, that the Panamalai Cave was founded by Rājasiṁha and that in his time the Pallavas ruled as far south as Panamalai.
