Mahendravarman I, son and successor of Simhavishnu (*c.* A. D. 600 to 625), has immortalized his name by the excavation of many rock-cut temples in the Trichinopoly, Chingleput, North Arcot, and South Arcot Districts. His fame is also preserved by the ruins of the city of Mahendravādi, between Arcot and Arkonam, and of a great reservoir, the Mahendra tank, near the same. A cave temple dedicated to Vishnu exists on the bank of the tank.²
