Alternative title: “MISCELLANEOUS. No. 117. (A.R. No. 665 of 1922). ON THE FLOOR OF THE SAME CAVE TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This is an imprecatory verse¹ engraved in Pallava-Grantha characters. It is also found in the concluding portion of some of the inscriptions at Mahābalipuram but sometimes with the substitute Vishṇuḥ for Rudrah, cursing ‘those in whose hearts does not dwell Rudra (Śiva), the deliverer from the walking on the evil path’. In Mahābalipuram this verse is found at three other places, viz., the Gaṇēśa temple and the Dharmarāja and Rāmānuja maṇḍapas.² The characters employed in all these cases are of the florid variety.

Language: Undetermined (und).
