In the twelfth year of the reign of king Vijaya-Īśvaravarman, when Kārōniri Bāṇarāja seized Ciṟaiyūr in battle, Aṭiyār fell, cut down by Bāṇarāja.Literally, ‘while Bāṇarāja cut (him) down.’

Īśvaravarman Īccuvaraparumaṉ is most probably a Pallava king, as his name is prefixed with kō-vicaiya-. He might be identified with Parameśvaravarman I or Parameśvaravarman II. For other hero-stones dated in the reign of Īśvaravarman, see INSPallava00252, INSPallava00253, and INSPallava00297.

The stone bears the representation of a bearded warrior with helmet, sword, shield and sword-belt24.
