Tiruppōrūr, list of birudas

Editor: Emmanuel Francis.

Identifier: DHARMA_INSPallava00067.

Summary: A list of 16 birudas engraved on two pillars. Most probably birudas of Narasiṃhavarman II Pallava, as the list includes the birudas Atyantakāma and Atiraṇacaṇḍa and as the paleaography matches his other known inscriptions (see Venkatasubba Ayyar 1943, p. 12).
