A facsimile of this inscription was kindly forwarded to me by Mr. Rāghavendrāchārya of Vānūr. It consists of one Sanskrit verse, which is identical with the last verse of Rājasiṁha's large inscription at Kañchī (No. 24, above). Hence it may be concluded, that the Panamalai Cave was founded by Rājasiṁha and that in his time the Pallavas ruled as far south as Panamalai.
rājasiṁho raṇajayaḥ
śrībharaścitrakārmuka
kavīraścirampātu śi
vacūḍāmaṇirmmahīm·
This village [[Panamalai]] is situated in the Villupuram Tālluqa, South Arcot District; see Sewell's Madras Lists Vol. I. p. 209.
