States that the image belonged to TiruMayilāpuri. It also mentions the name Jinaśēna -āchārya.

Remarks
It is evident that this image of Nēminātha was brought to Elankādu from Mylapore in Madras. Probably, it was installed here by Jinaśēna-āchārya. The image bears stylistic features of the 5th-16th century A.D. The palaeography of the record is also of the same period.
