This Vaṭṭeḻuttu record which couples the 8th regnal year of king Varaguṇa with Śaka 792 and the Āṉaimalai inscription of Jaṭila-Parāntaka which is dated in the Kali era form the two important landmarks in early Pāṇḍya chronology. The present epigraph yields A.D. 862-3 as the date of accession of Varaguṇa. It registers a gift of 505 kāṇam of gold by Śāntivīrakkuravar of Kāḻam, the disciple of Guṇavīrakkuravaḍigaḷ for offerings to the images of Pāriśva-Bhaṭāra, i.e., Pārśvanātha and of the attendant yakshīs which he had renovated and for the feeding of one ascetic.

The images sculptured on the brow of the cavern on this hill, as well as the references in this record indicate that a Jaina colony flourished on this hill in the 9th century A.D. It may be noted that the hill is called Tiruvayirai, which is the name by which it is referred to in early Tamil literature.
