History of the Pallavas of Kanchi c16.s1.41

c16.s1.41

This inscription consists of nine lines on a rough stone slab in Kiḷ-Muttugūr, a village in Guḍiyāttam Taluk of the North Arcot District. The alphabet is in Tamil and resembles the Vaṭṭeḻuttu inscriptions. The inscription records in Tamil the gift of land and houses at Mukkudūr to a Brahman in the eighteenth year of Kō-Vijaya Narasimhavarman. Below the inscription is a bas-relief with two central figures of elephant and goose from which Dr. Hultzsch has drawn the inference that Narasimhavarman belonged to the Western-Ganga dynasty.
