Summary: Krishnamacharlu and Laksminarayan Rao 1952 (p. 174): “Ends of lines built in. Records gift of 1000 kuḻis of land in the village of Ciṅkapura to the temples of god Tiru(mēṟ-ṟaḷi)tēvar and another (name lost) at Neṉmali for sounding music during the śrībali service by Cāttantai Cuttamallaṉ alias Pallavaraiyaṉ.” Krishnamacharlu and Laksminarayan Rao 1952 (p. 230): “The Pallava king Aparājita is represented by a record dated in the l0th regnal year from the Vaikuṇṭhavāsa-Perumāḷ temple at Nemmali in the Tiruttani division of the Chittoor District (No. 154 of 1942-43). It records a gift of land for playing musical instruments during the śrībali ceremonies in the four temples (of the place), by Cāttantai Cuttamallaṉ alias Aṇuttirappallavaraiyaṉ of Ciṅkapuram. This temple is of the apsidal type like the Viīraṭṭāṇēśvara temple at Tiruttani which is close by and is known to have been raised in the time of this Pallava king (S.I.I., Vol. XII, Introd. p. vii). The Vaikuṇṭhavāsa-Perumāḷ temple may be taken as a representative type of late Pallava architecture, as the present inscription of Aparājita is the earliest in it.”
