Remarks
This inscription gives the list of names of the Western Ganga kings of Talakad, whose influence was felt on the border areas of Tamilnadu in the early medieval times. The Jaina shrine founded by Rājamalla is the two group of sculptures representing Tirthankaras, Yakshas and Yakshis, carved on the face of the rock, which could have been provided with some sort of shelter so as to form a front mandapa in those days.
