## Summary

Each line of this inscription is incomplete at the end. It is dated
during the reign of Madirai-koṇḍa Ko-Parakesari[varman].[1] Line 2
mentions “the holy stone-temple” (Tirukkaṟṟaḷi), i.e., the
Rājasiṁhavarmeśvara Temple.[2] According to lines 3 and 4, the
inscription seems to have recorded an agreement made by the inhabitants
of two quarters (śeri) of Kachchippeḍu (i.e., Kāñchīpuram), of which the
second was called Ekavīrappāḍichcheri and the name of the first also
ended in ppāḍichcheri. The term paḷḷichchandam[3] occurs in line 5.
