    Commentary

    The provenance is Mampākkam according to Sivaramamurti 1974. On the Chennai Goverment Museum website (https://www.chennaimuseum.org/draft/gallery/01/04/inscrip2.htm ) the provenance is Mangadu, that is, Māṅkāṭu, where two Pallava inscriptions (DHARMA_INSPallava00131 and DHARMA_INSPallava00235 ) were found.
