The inscriptions on stones recording the significant
orders, wars, administrative procedures and characteristic features of kings are known by
the name மெய்கீர்த்திகள். These records help us in understanding the Tamil culture of the
period concerned. The மெய்கீர்த்தி about Rajadirajan, S/o Rajendiran I, speaks of him as a great king
and attributes to him the qualities of valour and sacrifice.
