This cave is not far distant from the region where Ājīvikas are known to have persisted in comparative strength until the Middle Ages.³ In the tenth century a village called Ācuvulaparru, the name of which may contain the Tamil inscriptional form of the word Ājīvika, existed in the same neighbourhood.⁴ It is therefore not impossible that the Guntupaḷḷi cave was also once an Ājīvika hermitage.
