Summary: The following two labels engraved in Vaṭṭeḻuttu characters of the early 9th century A.D. are found below the images of Jaina Gods sculptured on the face of the rock overhanging a cavern on the hill. One of them states that the ascetic Ajjaṇand was responsible for the setting up of the image under which the inscription is engraved, while the other mentions a sabhā. This Ajjaṇandi has figured in similar doṇative labels at Uttamapāḷaiyam and Ayyampāḷaiyam, two other Jaina colonies in the Madurai district, which were flourishing in this period.
