Here follows a passage which is mutilated at the end, and which records that the same toṇṭaiyamāṉ coḻapperiyaraiyaṉ gave 30 kāśu for offerings of rice on Sundays.

(Line 1.) Hail ! Prosperity ! While courage was (his) only help and liberality (his) only ornament, (the king) wielded the sceptre and dispelled the dark Kali (age).

(L. 2.) (He) terrified Āhavamalla at Kūḍalśaṅgamam, saw the retreating back of Vikkalaṉ and Śiṅgaṇaṉ, and seized riches and vehicles along with his (viz). Āhavamalla's) great queens.

(L. 4.) (He) terrified Āhavamalla yet a second time on the (previously) appointed battle-field, recovered Vēṅgai-nāḍu, and fulfilled the vow of the elder brother who was born with him.

(L. 6.) On a third occasion (he) burnt (the city of) Kampili before Sōmēśvara could untie the necklace which (he) had put on,From the next following inscription (No. 84, l. 5 f.) it appears that Sōmēśvara II. had to give up the necklace, which was the sign of his dignity of heir-apparent, in favour of his younger brother Vikramāditya VI., who had made his peace with Vīrarājēndra I. and set up a pillar of victory at Kaṟaḍikal.

(L. 8.) (He) expelled the great Sāmantas) beginning with Dēvanātha from Śakkarakōṭṭam and seized their wives.

(L. 10.) (He) recovered [Kaṉṉa]kuchchi (i.e. Kanyakubja), crossed the boundaries and fixed (them). In the 6th year of (this) king Rājakēsarivarman alias) the lord Śrī-Vīrarājēndradēva, who was pleased to be seated on the throne of victory together with (his queen) Ulagamuḻuduḍaiyāḷ,—I, Īśvaraṉ Śiṅgamāṇi alias) Toṇḍaimāṉ Śōḻapperiyaraiyaṉ, granted twelve cows to (the god) Mahādēva of the Tiruttiṇḍīśvara (temple) at Giḍaṅgil in Ōymā-nāḍu. (These cows were) granted in order to (supply) three uḻakku of ghee, viz.In accordance with Vol. II. p. 48, note 5, 1 uri + 1 aḻākku + 1 aḻākku are equal to 3 uḻakku. one uri of ghee for the śrībali, one aḻākku (of ghee) for the hōma, and one aḻākku of ghee and one nāḻi of curds for offerings on those holy Sundays on which (the god) is carried outside (for) the śrībali.

(L. 22.) Having received these twelve cows, we, the members of the assembly (in charge) of the store-roomSee above, p. 20, note 5. of this temple, shall have to supply these requirements as long as the moon and the sun shall last.

(L. 24.) This (gift is placed under) the protection of all Māhēśvaras.
