If Mahamalla originated it, as probably he did, his successors continued it, and we find this kind of pillar in buildings of later times of different ages. To mark it distinctly as having been originated by Mahāmalla we want a few undoubted examples of these ascribable to his age. We cannot say we get that in Mahābalipuram. - [Previous: c19.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gopalan-1928.c19.3) - [Next: c19.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gopalan-1928.c19.5) - [Up: c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gopalan-1928.c19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gopalan-1928.c19.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gopalan-1928.c19.4) · Pramāṇa
