SII 12.11: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar – MAHENDRAVARMAN I. No. 11. (A.R. No. 50 of 1905). ON THE SAME PILLAR.

Editor: Emmanuel Francis.

Identifier: DHARMA_INSSIIv12p0i0011.

Summary: This inscription in Tamil verse states that Narēndrapōttaraiyaṉ constructed, to the south of Veṇbēḍu, a Śiva temple called Śatrumallēśvarālaya.¹ The composer of the verse was Brammamaṅgalavaṉ Śellaṉ Śivadāsaṉ, a native of the village. It may be noted that the Tamil characters in which this inscription is engraved are not so archaic as to be attributed to the period of Mahēndravarman I, but could be assigned to the 9th century A.D. It is, therefore, probable that this Tamil translation in verse of the previous record was composed by a local poet of the 9th century and was got engraved on the same pillar of the cave.
