There are two inscriptions upon the temple, one short one of no particular interest on the wall on the right of the entrance and a longer one on the front face of one of the pillars in the porch. The latter is of the time of the Vijayanagar king Sadāśivarāya, dated in A.D. 1543, and records the construction of a bastion, which is probably the one just above the temple. Another inscription of the same date, engraved in Cave III, records the construction of a bastion on the southern fort, above the cave.
