Contents
Damaged. States that queen Lokamahadevi was affected by a Brahmarakshasa, and mentions an acharya of Mahilampalli, the Ağivar-kõil, and a certain Aņukkapallavan. In characters of about the 9th century A.D.
Reference
ARE, 360/1954-55.
Remarks
It seem to register a gift of land to the temple of Arhat (arivir) Mahilampaļļi. The acharya of the Ajivaka-darsana probably had some part in alleviating the queen's affliction from the Brahmarakshasa. The record, in all probablity, seems to be a later copy of an earlier record belonging to the Pallava king Narasimhavarman II. ARE, 1954–55, p. 16.
