This inscription records that in the Saumya year, which was current after the expiration of Śaka 1471, the pavement of the outer courtyard of the Viriñchipuram Temple was laid by Bommu-nāyaka, who is evidently the same person as Śiṉṉa-Bommu-nāyaka or Bomma-nṛipati of Velūr.See the introduction of No. 43. On this occasion, the other inscribed stones which are noticed in part III, must have found their way into the floor of the temple.
