Commentary
The inscription -- the only one on the monument bearing it -- consists in what appears to be a biruda, "gloryfying soubriquet". Although Pallava kings have had hundreds of their birudas engraved on their monuments, this one does not appear among these and is found only on this pillar of the Kōṭikal Maṇḍapa. Note that the biruda Vāma is engraved twice on the Dharmarājaratha at Mahābalipuram. Vāmāṅkuṣa might be the biruda of one among the Pallava biruda-bearers of Mahābalipuram or of an obscure Pallava prince or, as suggested by Srinivasan 1964, p. 110, of a chief, subordinated to the Pallavas.
