Commentary
The inscription is incomplete. Mahalingam 1988 notes: “Probably a few more letters are wanting. The significance of these names is not clear. They were probably the taḷi uḍaiyār (temple priests), as stated in l. 13.”
According to Mahalingam 1988: “This gives the earliest reference to the setting up of the image of god Ganapati, during the Pallava period.”
