The Kāmākshi-amman temple at Kanchipuram has yielded 60 inscriptions. The earliest among them (No. 360) belongs to Narasingappāttaraiyar. The expression pottaraiyar clearly indicates that it refers to a Pallava king of that name. The inscription which is damaged is dated in the 18th regnal year of the king and is engraved in characters of about the 9th century. It seems to register a gift of land to the temple of arhat (asivar) in Magilampalli. Aņukka-pallavan who is mentioned in this connection appears to be, as the expression implies, an officer in the personal service of the king. The record also states that the queen Lokamahadévi was afflicted by a bahmarakshasa and mentions an acharya of the ajrvak a darśana who played some part in probably alleviating her affiliction. Since the imperial Pallava line had ceased to exist and there was no ruler of the name Narasingappottaraiyar at the period of this record, we have to conjecture that this epigraph, if it narrates an event of the reign of Pallava Narasmihavarman II, also known as Narasimhapotavarman, is a matter of an earlier record.
