1. Date: Śālivāhana-Śaka 1457 expired and the Nandana year current.There is a mistake in the date, as Śaka 1458 corresponds to the Manmatha year, and the Nandana year to Śaka 1455. See No. 123.

2. King: the illustrious mahārājādhirāja-parameśvara Achyutadeva-mahārāyar (of Vijayanagara).

3. Donee: Mārgasahāya-devaCompare Mārgasahāyeśvara in No. 58 and Margasahāya-liṅga in No. 140. of Iriñchipuram (!).

4. Remarks: The inscription mentions Śiṟaleri (see No. 123). The grant seems to have consisted of a number of kuṛis of land and to have been made for the benefit of two Brāhmaṇas, Timmappayaṉ and Śaivādirāyar Vasantarāya-guru, who taught the Ṛik-śākhā and Yajuḥ-śākhā respectively. The second donee belonged to the Bhāradvāja-gotra and followed the Bodhāyana-sūtra.Bodhāyana is the southern form of Baudhāyana; see page ix of the preface of my edition of Baudhāyana's Dharmaśāstra, Leipzig, 1884.
