                            <p>This inscription is engraved below a group of sculptures reproduced on the accompanying plate. It states that, during the reign of <hi rend="bold">Madhurāntaka dēva</hi> <hi rend="italic">alias</hi> <hi rend="bold">Uttama-Chōḷa</hi>, his mother <hi rend="bold">Mādēvaḍigaḷār</hi> <hi rend="italic">alias</hi> <hi rend="bold">Śembiyaṉ-Mādēviyār</hi> caused to be built in the name of her husband <hi rend="bold">Gaṇḍarādityadēva</hi>, a stone temple at <hi rend="bold">Tirunallam</hi>, <hi rend="italic">i.e.</hi>, the modern <hi rend="bold">Kōnērirājapuram</hi>, which is one of the ancient Śaivite places of worship mentioned in the <hi rend="italic">Dēvāram</hi>. The inscription serves as a key to understand the sculptures below which it is engraved. The female figure kneeling down in a worshipping posture is queen <hi rend="bold">Śembiyaṉ-Mādēviyār</hi> and the one close to the <hi rend="italic">liṅga</hi> is <hi rend="bold">Gaṇḍarāḍityadēva</hi>. The two figures behind the queen are her attendants. The name <hi rend="bold">Ādityēśvara-Mahādēva</hi> which occurs in other inscriptions of <hi rend="bold">Kōnērirājapuram</hi> indicates that it was derived from <hi rend="bold">Gaṇḍarāditya</hi>.</p>
