Jaina Inscriptions in Tamilnadu
Contents
The inscription opens with a long list of countries which the king had conquered. It records gift of money for a lamp and offerings to the Kundavai Jinalaya on the hill by Chamundappai, the wife of Nannappayan, a merchant of Malliyūr in Karaivali, a subdivision of Perumbāņappaại. The Jaina temple was situated in the palsichchandam of Vaigāvũr in Mugaināļu in Pangalanādu, a sub-division of Jayankonga Cholamandalam.

Remarks
The Jaina temple on the hill at Tirumalai was evidently founded by Kundavai, the King's aunt, and therefore came to be called Kundavai Jinalaya.
