Notes

1. This verse is not found in any other meykkīrtti.
2. Judging by the fact that the meykkīrtti covers most of the standard campaigns that are mentioned of this king, it might be safe to assume that the inscription as made in the final years of king Vīrarājendra.i
3. Inscription SII 38.131 (also from the same temple) seems to confirm this interpretation, as it also lists the various intellectual activities that took place here. However, if that were the case, the actual text or discipline that the person in charge expounded (vakkāṇi) would have been lost.
