A long inscription on ‘Tulu Vamsa Prashasti’ (Genealogy of the Tulu clan) has been identified on the north-facing wall of the second rampart at Sri Veerabhadra Swamy temple complex in Lepakshi in Sri Sathya Sai District, according to historian and tourism journalist MyNaa Swamy. The inscription talks about the land, gold and cows donated to the temple.
Commissioned in 1533 AD by Vijayanagara emperor Achyutaraya Devarayulu, who had contributed to the construction of the temple, the inscription is longer than all the inscriptions found in Lepakshi. The script used is Kannada and the language is Sanskrit.
