<p>This inscription (No. 182 of 1901) is engraved on three walls of the <hi rend="bold">Saundararāja-Perumāḷ</hi> temple at <hi rend="bold">Sōmaṅgalam</hi>,<note>No. 311 on the <hi rend="italic">Madras Survey Map</hi> of the Conjeeveram tāluka.</note> a village north of Maṇimaṅgalam in the Chingleput district. The ancient name of the temple was <hi rend="bold">Chitrakūṭa</hi> (l. 3). Like Maṇimaṅgalam,<note>See above, p. 49 and notes 6 and 7.</note> Sōmaṅgalam belonged to <hi rend="bold">Māgaṇūr-nāḍu</hi>, a subdivision of the district of <hi rend="bold">Śēṅgāṭṭukōṭṭam</hi> (l. 2 f.).</p>
<p>The inscription is dated in the 3rd year of <hi rend="bold">Rājēndra-Chōḷa</hi> II. The introduction agrees with that of the inscriptions of his 2nd year (Nos. <ref target="DHARMA_INSSIIv03p0i0064">64</ref> to <ref target="DHARMA_INSSIIv03p0i0066">69</ref> above), but adds a reference to his queen, without mentioning her name.</p>
