The ending -aṁbu makes clear that the inscription does not represent a proper noun.

Commentary
The ending -aṁbu makes clear that the inscription does not represent a proper noun. The context, “On top of a niche containing a linga” (Ramayya Pantulu 1948, p. 18), shows that it probably is the name of that niche.
