## Summary

This inscription records the donation of land to the Kāvēśvara-dēva
temple in Maṇṇiyūru by Cāmuṇḍayya, a subordinate of the yuvarāja or heir
apparent, Satyāśraya while his father was king. This inscription is
dated to the reign of Tribhuvanamalla-dēva, which is not the usual
epithet for Taila II.
