Commentary
(1–2) Īśvaravarman (Īccuvaraparumaṉ) is most probably a Pallava king, as his name is prefixed with kō-vicaiya-. He might be identified with Parameśvaravarman I or Parameśvaravarman II. For other hero-stones dated in the reign of Īśvaravarman, see INSPallava00252, INSPallava00253, and INSPallava00297.
The stone “bears the representation of a bearded warrior with helmet, sword, shield and sword-belt” (Hultzsch 1902–1903, p. 24).
The placename is spelt Hebbaṇi in Rice 1905, p. 148 of the section "Text of the inscriptions in Roman characters", while the facsimile, next page, is labelled "Bairakūr vaṭṭeḻuttu stone."
