SII 12.10: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar MAHENDRAVARMAN I. No. 10. (A.R. No. 51 of 1905). DAḶAVĀṈŪR, GINGEE TALUK, SOUTH ARCOT DISTRICT. ON A PILLAR IN THE ROCK-CUT CAVE. author of digital edition Emmanuel Francis DHARMA Paris, CEIAS DHARMA_INSSIIv12p0i0010 DHARMAbase

This epigraph consisting of a Sanskrit verse, states that the (cave) temple on the hill was executed by the order of king Narēndra alias Śatrumalla and named ‘Śatrumallēśvarālaya.’ Mahēndravarman I had the title ‘Śatrumalla’ and according to the present inscription he had also the biruda ‘Narēndra’. It may be pointed out here that the Vāyalūr inscription gives the epithet ‘Narēndrasiṁha’ to Rājasiṁha; but the simpler and earlier style of the Daḷavāṉūr temple, however, precludes its assignment to the time of this king.

This cave temple is described in the Memoir of the Archaeological Survey of India, No. 17, pages 12-13.
