This inscription which consists of seven Sanskrit verses engraved in Pallava-Grantha characters, records that the cave temple was constructed by king Atiraṇachaṇḍa and that it was called ‘Atiraṇachaṇḍēśvara’ after his surname. Three of the verses in the present record are also found in Nos. 20 and 21 above and contain the birudas: Atyantakāma, Śrīnidhi, Kāmarāga and Śrībhara. Other surnames of the king were Raṇajaya, Anugraśīla, Kālakāla, Samara-Dhanaṁjaya and Saṁgrāmadhīra. Since most of these epithets including Atiraṇachaṇḍa are also applied to Rājasiṁha in his inscription at Conjeeveram,South Indian Inscriptions Vol. I, p. 15. the present record may be assigned to him. Dr. Hultzsch took Atiraṇachaṇḍa as a title of Nandivarman Pallavamalla,Epigraphia Indica, Vol. X, p. 4. but considering the palaeography and the architectural style of the maṇḍapa, it seems better to take it as referring to Rājasiṁha.See also Memoir of the Archaeological Survey, No. 33, pages 46 and 47.
