Like the Mahēndravāḍi and Śīyamaṅgalam labels of the Pallava king Mahēndravarman I, the birudas of Narasiṁhavarman I are engraved in Pallava-Grantha characters on the Dharmarāja-ratha. As usual, the list of surnames commences with the actual name of the king Śrī-Narasiṁha. The birudas give an indication of the king's power, wealth, valour, personal charm, ambition, liberality etc. As the temple is called ‘Atyantakāma-Pallavēśvaragṛiham’ in a label engraved in florid characters resembling those found in the Gaṇēśa rock-cut temple in the same village attributable to Paramēśvaravarman I, it may be presumed that the work on this ‘ratha’ was continued in the reign of Paramēśvaravarman and also in that of his son Rājasiṁha, considering the architectual evolution noticeable here from the simple rockcut cave temple of Mahēndravarman I's time. This ratha is described in the Memoir of the Archaeological Survey of India, No. 33, p. 25 ff.
