The character used in the two inscriptions of this dynasty that are in existence is a slightly developed form of the Veṅgi character, in the direction of the florid form found in the Seven Pagodas inscription (Pl. xii.). The secondary form of **ī** is the same as in the Veṅgi, but is clearer in the Pallava inscriptions. The letters **m**, **l**, **v**, **ç** and **h** are nearer to the Grantha forms. **Ç** and the secondary form of **u** are identical in the Pallava and later character found in the Seven Pagodas inscription.
