## Summary

This inscription is dated in the Durmati[1] year, which was current
after the expiration of the Śaka year 1554. The third symbol of the Śaka
date is not quite clear. There is a mistake either in the Śaka or in the
cyclic year, as the only Durmati year of the 16th century corresponded
to the current Śaka year 1544. The inscription mentions the temple of
Raṅganātha-Perumāḷ at Paḷḷikoṇḍai.[2]
