c16.s1.8

¹¹⁶ *Ep. Col.*, No. 429 of 1902; *Ep. Ind.*, vol. vii, pp. 192-3. Tamil inscription, dated in the eighth year of Vijayakampavarman's reign written in a long stone in a *tope* opposite to the ruined Īśvara temple at Śōḷapuram near Vellore. The record consists of two Sanskrit verses and a half in the *Grantha* characters and a passage in Tamil prose. The Tamil portion which is dated in the eighth year states that a chief named Rājāditya built a Śiva temple and a tomb in memory of his deceased father Prithivī-Gangarāyar. The mutilated Sanskrit portions give a genealogical account of Rājāditya and mentions Mādhavā as the earliest ancestor of his son Atvivarman, and another whose name is illegible. Rājāditya is described as the son of Prithivī-Gangarāyar and the contemporary of Vijayakampa.
