(16) ‘Having perceived that the central shrine of the god of the Tiruviḍaikali (temple) . . . which formerly consisted of layers of bricks, had become old and cracked,—the lord of Milaḍu . . . pulled down the temple, rebuilt the central shrine and the maṇḍapa of granite, placed on the shrine fine solid pitchers (dome) of gold, built a surrounding wall and a maṇḍapa, in front, and gave a canopy of pearls.’—(Fourteen inscrip. at Tirukkovalur, no. K, lines 5–7, *Ep. Ind.*, Vol. vii, pp. 145, 146, 147.)
