This study of the Tamil-Brāhmī inscriptions published posthumously in 1981 is the second book-length treatment of the subject, and the first to appear in Tamil.⁴ This volume contains readings and interpretations of 46 cave inscriptions from 17 sites. Most of the texts are illustrated with tracings reproduced from the *Corpus 1966*; a few other illustrations seem to be drawings apparently based on the photographs of estampages published by Mahalingam (1967).
