## Summary

This inscription consists of the imprecatory verse found at the end of
the two previous inscriptions (Nos. 20 and 21 above) and engraved in
florid characters, similar to those used in the ‘Gaṇēśa’ temple. It is,
therefore, possible that the rock-cut cell which may have been excavated
during the time of the Pallava king Paramēśvāravarman I or a little
earlier, was originally intended to be a temple for Śiva.
