the second inscription which was engraved in tamil (tamil portion, prose) and grantha (sanskrit portion, poetry) characters, located at the foot of the hillock in the northern side of the temple. the sanskrit portion explains the exaltation to the "arunkal-anvaya" belonging to the "nandi sanga" of "dravida sanga". the tamil portion records that vajranandhi-yogindrar, the disciple of gunaviradevar who was the "mandalacharya" of "arunkal-anvaya" caused to be constructed a flight of steps. these steps (see the picture gallery) are still in good condition.
