<summary>
<p>These two records engraved in early Grantha and Vaṭṭeḻuttu characters belong to Māṟañjaḍaiyaṉ who is also called Parāntaka. They are important because the Kali year 3871 is also quoted for this king, thus furnishing a valuable chronological land mark for early Pāṇḍya history. The rock-cut temple of Narasiṁha was begun by Māṟaṉ-Kāri <hi rend="italic">alias</hi> Muvēndamaggalappēraraiyaṉ, a <hi rend="italic">vaidya</hi> of Karavandapura <hi rend="italic">alias</hi> Kaḷakkuḍi and an <hi rend="italic">Uttaramantrin</hi> (minister) of the Pāṇḍya king,<note><hi rend="italic">Ep. Ind.</hi>, Vol. XVII, pp. 296 ff.</note> but as he died subsequently, the work was completed by his brother Māṟaṉ-Eyiṉaṉ <hi rend="italic">alias</hi> Pāṇḍimaṅgala-Viśaiyaraiyaṉ who succeeded him in the office of minister, who added the <hi rend="italic">mukhamaṇḍapa</hi> and had the consecration ceremony performed. As the person first mentioned had also the title Madhurakavi, it has been tentatively assumed that he had some connection with the Vaishṇava Āḻvār named Kāri Māṟaṉ <hi rend="italic">alias</hi> Nammāḷvār, the author of the <hi rend="italic">Tiruvāymoḻi.</hi> Karavandapuram has been identified with Ukkiraṉkōṭṭai in the Tirunelveli <hi rend="italic">taluk</hi> of the district of the same name, in the inscriptions copied from which, the village is called Kaḷakkuḍi and Kaḷandai.<note><hi rend="italic">Ibid.</hi>, Vol. XXIII, p. 283 and <hi rend="italic">n.</hi></note></p>
