Notes: The name of the temple suggests that 'the shrine owed its foundation to Kundavai, the daughter of Parantaka II ), elder sister of Rājarāja I (
(
) and paternal aunt of Rajendra I.
Tirumalai is stated to have formed part of Vaigavur, a palliccandam, i.e., 'a village belonging to a Jaina temple'. The names Camuṇḍabbai (Cāmuṇḍabbe) and Nanṇappayan clearly show that the donor and her husband were of Kannada origin.
