This is dated Śaka 1364, Dundubhi, Kārttika śu. 15, Krittika nakshatra corresponding to 1442 A.D., October 18, Thursday, f.d.t. °69.

Written in chaste Telugu prose, the inscription is eulogy in nature, while the gift portion is vague. It refers to Prauḍha Dēvarāya, son of Vijayarāya, whose feet were worshipped (by his feudatories and officers) and who was Dēvendra on earth. His subordinate, Mahāmaṇḍalēśvara Timmabhūpa, [son of] Vallabhēndra of Ātrēya-gōtra and Sōma-kula, was described as having court which consisted of many wise men. He bears the title Erigolasurabāṇa. Then Pulivendla is stated to have been situated south of Śrīparvata. The Panchalingēśvara-kshētra is said to lie on the hill Chanukoṇḍa, on the river Pālēru and north of Guṇḍālaya.
