Photographs of the general views of hills and caves and close-up views of the cave inscriptions were taken by Mr. C.Santhalingam and Dr. V.Vedachalam (TNSA) and Mrs. Mangai Raghavan and Mr. C. Veeraraghavan of Viluppuram. Data for locating the sites on the two maps included in this volume were collected by Mr. K. Rajavelu (ASI) and Mrs. S. Vasanthi (TNSA). To all of them my sincere thanks are due. I am also grateful to Dr. C. Chandramouli IAS, Director of Census Operations, Tamil Nadu, and his colleagues for assistance in drawing the maps.
