Annual Report on Indian Epigraphy for 1951-52. Calcutta, 1957.
P. 3 Stone Inscriptions : Three new Brāhmi inscriptions (Nos. 140-142), copied in the caverns on the hill at Tiruparankunram, near Madurai, Madras State, are the earliest epigraphs in the year's collections. They were exposed to view in the course of repairs carried out recently to the caverns. They belong to the same class of records as those found in other caverns in the District of Madurai, Rāmanāthapuram and Tirunelvali in South India (cf A.R. Ep. 1912, p. 50 & Plate). Probably they record the names of persons who carved out the stone beds in these caverns. In an inscription (dated 773 A.D.) No. 143 in the rock-cut cave temple of Subrahmanya at Tirupparankunram, the hill is called Paramaśikharin which is obviously the Sanskrit rendering of the Tamil name Tirupparamkuram.
