SII 1.41: original edition by Eugen Hultzsch PART II. TAMIL AND GRANTHA INSCRIPTIONS. I. INSCRIPTIONS AT MĀMALLAPURAM. No. 41. ON THE NORTH BASE OF THE SHORE TEMPLE. author of digital edition Emmanuel Francis DHARMA Paris, CEIAS DHARMA_INSSIIv01p0i0041 DHARMAbase

The historical-part of this inscription is identical with that of the preceding one; its date is the twenty-sixth year of Ko-Rājarāja-Rājakesarivarman, alias Rāja-Rājarāja-deva.

The inscription, which is unfortunately mutilated, mentions three temples, two of which were called after and consequently built by Pallava kings. The first of these two is Jalaśayana or Kshatriyasiṁha-Pallava-Īśvara-deva. That Jalaśayana was the name of the Shore Temple itself, appears clearly from the inscription No. 40. The second name for it, which is furnished by the present inscription, proves that the Shore Temple was a foundation of a Pallava king Kshatriyasiṁha. The second temple mentioned in the subjoined inscription is Rājasiṁha-Pallava-Īśvara-deva, which, as appears from one of the Kāñchīpuram inscriptions (No. 24, verse 10), was the original name of the Kailāsanātha Temple at Kāñchī. The name of the third temple, Paḷḷikoṇḍaruḷiya-deva, (literally: “the god who is pleased to sleep”) may perhaps refer to the Śrīraṅganāyaka Temple at Paḷḷikoṇḍa near Viriñchipuram and would then explain the origin of the name Paḷḷikoṇḍa.
