This label in Pallava-Grantha characters reads ‘Śrī-Siṁhaviṇṇa-pōttrāthirājan’. It is engraved above a group of sculptures representing a king seated on a cushioned stool and flanked by two standing images of his queens. On a consideration of the palaeography of this label, the late Mr. Krishna Sastri concluded that the king represented here was Narasiṁhavishṇu, ‘the conqueror of Vātāpi’. Subsequent writers have, however, identified him with Siṁhavishṇu, the father of Mahēndravarman I. But the name Paramēśvara-Mahāvarāha-Vishṇugṛiha applied to this cave in a record of the Chōḷa king Rājēndradēva, proves clearly that it is connected with Paramēśvaravarman I. Since a statue of Mahēndravarman in a standing posture pointing to his two queens the deity inside the newly excavated cave is also found here, it may be inferred that the work on this cave was started by him. If so Paramēśvaravarman after whom the cave was called, must have completed the work started by his predecessor. The statues found in this cave may, therefore, be taken to represent Narasiṁhavishṇu, ‘the Conqueror of Vātāpi’ and his son Mahēndravarman II.
