**67.1 kor̲r̲antai** [**i\***]**ḷava**[**ṉ**] N. of the donor. The first part of the name is construed as *kor̲r̲aṉ* + *antai* (honorific) with the elision of the PNG suffix *-aṉ* in sandhi. Cf. **piṭaṉ**/**piṭantai** (**65.2** & **66.2**). The composite name probably indicates that Iḷavaṉ is the son of Kor̲r̲antai. It is just possible that Kor̲r̲antai of this inscription (No. **67**) is the son of Piṭṭaṉ/Piṭṭantai and brother of Kīraṉ Kor̲r̲i, the donor of the adjacent cave shelter (Nos. **65** & **66**).
