Reference
ARE, 356/1909, SII, Vol. XII, p. 53, f. n. 2.
Remarks
The slab contains the representation of the nun, Pridivi-Vidangakuratti, flanked by a lamp and canopied by an umbrella. She should have been held in high esteem and therefore, the king himself had caused to be made her image,
Palaeographically, the record may be assigned to the Pallava period. (ARE, 1909-1910, p. 11).
