Early Tamil Epigraphy: From the Earliest Times to the Sixth Century A.D. c21.s17.t2.1

c21.s17.t2.1

Our team did not take estampages of the inscriptions as it was decided to utilise the best of those already available with the ASI and the TNSA. I spent several months at Mysore during 1995-96 to examine all the available estampages of cave inscriptions in the office of the Director of Epigraphy, ASI. The best of the estampages were selected and photographed where negatives were not already available. In a few cases, photographs of estampages were supplied by the TNSA. The present Corpus is illustrated with photographs of estampages suitably enlarged to show as much detail as possible.¹
