According to G. Thirumoorthy, Assistant Archaeologist, ASI, the discovery was 'important because it has the longest `meikeerthi' of a Chola king. This 'meikeerthi/ prasasthi' talks about the titles and heroic deeds of Rajadhi Raja I — how he defeated the Chalukyas, how he demolished a Chalukya palace at Kambili (in present-day Karnataka); his relationship with the Sinhalas; the 'aswamedha yaga' that he performed and so on.
It mentions that Ennayiram was called Raja Raja Chaturvedimangalam and that it was a 'thaniyur' (independent village) directly coming under the control of the king and falling in Panaiyurnadu of Cholanadu. It also talks about 'Singapuranadu' which can be identified with Gingee of today.
