This Ayirai was famous in the olden times as a Jaina colony. The God Pārśvanātha sculptured in this place was the recipient of some endowments in the eign of the Pāṇḍya king Varaguṇavarman in A.D. 870. The Vaṭṭeḻuttu labels engraved below the images of several Jaina Tīrthaṅkaras sculptured in half relief near this cavern are also attributable to the same period approximately, and they record the fact that the respective images were the gifts of Ajjaṇandi, Indrasēna, Mallisēna, etc. Avvaṇandi-Kurattiyār the disciple of Paṭṭini-Kurattiyar also had an image sculptured on the rock. An ascetic by the name of Ajjaṇandi is mentioned in the Jīvakachintāmaṇi, the premier Jaina classic of this early period.
