## Summary

The end of this inscription is lost. As, however, the preserved part is
identical with the above-published inscriptions Nos. 40, 41 and 66, it
may be safely concluded, that the inscription belongs to
Ko-Rājarāja-Rājakesarivarman, alias Rājarāja-deva. The mention of
Iraṭṭa-pāḍi shows, that the inscription dates after the twenty-first
year of the king.[1]
