This inscription consists of a single Sanskrit verse in the Indravajrā metre and of a passage in Tamil prose. It is dated on a week-day (l. 3) which will probably admit of calculation, in the 18th year of the reign of Tribhuvanachakravartin Rājarājadēva, and records the gift of two lamps to the image of Vishṇu, and to an image of Narasiṁha which was set up in the same temple.

Hail ! Prosperity ! (Verse 1.) Śrīkṛishṇa-Sūri, a treasury of the scriptures (Āgama), the full-moon of the ocean (which is) the Vādhūla-gōtra, gave a pair of lamps to the highest primal being (Vishṇu) who resides at Ratnāgrahāra.I.e. Manimaṅgalam; compare No. 27, verse 1.

(Line 2.) In the 18th year (of the reign) of the emperor of the three worlds, the glorious Rājarājadēva, on the day of Śravaṇa, which corresponded to a Monday and to the first tithi of the first fortnight of the month of Makara,—we two, Śrīrāma-Bhaṭṭaṉ, who performs the worship in the temple of Maṉṉaṉār (Vishṇu) at Maṇimaṅgalam, alias Grāmaśikhāmaṇi-chaturvēdimaṅgalam, and his younger brother Vīṟṟirundāṉ Bhaṭṭaṉ, received two kaḻañju of pure gold from Śrīkṛishṇa-BhaṭṭaThe same person was called Śrīkṛishṇa-Sūri in verse 1. . . . . . of Kuṇḍūr, (a resident) of this village.

(L. 6.) We two have caused to be engraved on stone that, (in return) for these two kaḻañju of pure gold, we shall have to burn, as long as the moon and the sun exist, one sacred lamp in the morning before the god Maṉṉaṉār, and one sacred lamp in the evening before the god Śiṅga-Perumāḷ who is pleased to reside in the same temple.
