c16.48

This is engraved on the pillar of the *Paurṇami Maṇḍapa* to the south of the central sanctuary of the Ekāmbaranāthasvāmi temple, and consists of a series of *birudas* of the king who got them engraved such as *Abhimukha*, *Chitrakārapuli*, *Vambara*, *Dṛḍabhakti*, etc. As some of these surnames occur in his other cave inscriptions it is probable that they belong to Mahēndravarman I.
