Early Tamil Epigraphy: From the Earliest Times to the Sixth Century A.D. c20.s4.t1.24

The upper inscription⁷ on the brow of this cave is much fainter and more difficult to make out. However, with some effort, it could also be read almost completely except for three letters lost in the second line due to flaking of the stone. It turned out that the upper inscription is a near-identical repetition of the lower one and the few letters lost in the former could be restored from the identical passage in the latter.
