Notes
- 1. The term pāḻi has several meanings according to the Madras Tamil Lexicon, such as "temple", "hermitage", "cave, mountain cavern", "sleeping place for human beings", "small tank, pond", "flight of steps leading into a tank". This is a stone-bed according to Bhadri 2006. In No name 1991-2019 it is suggested that it is a toṭṭi. There are three different entries for this word in the Madras Tamil Lexicon, with the following meanings, among others: "water-trough, tub, cistern, reservoir", "climbing nettle", "fence, yard, pound." As the inscription was found according to Bhadri 2006 “on the surface of a sloping rock”, it is difficult to assess which is the more appropriate referent of pāḻi in the present insription.
- 2. This is the name of the stone-bed according to Bhadri 2006.
