A long inscription in Tamil, running to 28 lines and about 1,000 years old, has been discovered at a temple in Ennayiram village, 18kms from Villupuram town in Tamilnadu.The Archaeological Survey of India, Chennai Circle, found the inscription at Alagiya Narasingaperumal temple, when the floor of the 'mukhamantapa' (entrance hall) was being removed to re-erect dangerously tilted pillars there.
The inscription, running from the 53rd line to the 80th line, was found at the basement ('adhishtana' ) of the entrance hall. It contains the longest 'meikeerthi' (various titles and exploits) of a Chola king. The inscription actually runs to 80 lines, but lines one to 53 are yet to be located.
