Remarks
Of these labels, Kamttuhu, and Tańchaharaka are doubtfully taken to be the titles of the Pallava king Mahēndra I, ARE, 1937-38, pt. II, pp. 78-79) while the others such as Gatadosa, s'ēnatandan, Amithananda and Kaiviļakku are said to be names probably of Jaina monks. (T. V. Mahalingam Early South Indian Palaeography, pp. 301-307), However, their affiliation to the Jaina sect is not proved beyond doubt.
