Early Tamil Epigraphy: From the Earliest Times to the Sixth Century A.D. c20.s8.t1.6

c20.s8.t1.6

During the unsuccessful search for the lost Tamil-Brāhmī inscription³ on the Rockfort hill at Tiruchirapalli, our team discovered a new Early Vaṭṭeḻuttu inscription⁴ on the rock wall abutting the narrow passage along the northern face of the hill (Fig. 1.15). We could also secure better copies and suggest improved readings of two other published Early Vaṭṭeḻuttu inscriptions⁵ engraved on the rocky floor of the passage.
