Early South Indian Palaeography c15.2

c15.2

The epigraphical records of the Tamil country after the period of the Brāhmī labels discussed above become available only from the commencement of the seventh century A. D. The intervening period may be treated as a comparatively 'dark period' in the epigraphical field as in many other aspects in the history of the Tamil country. There are only a few streaks of light flashed by some stray records which can be definitely attributed to this period and found in this part of the counrty.
