This record of the 2nd year of king Parakēsarivarman who took the head of Vīra-Pāṇḍya, has to be attributed to Āditya (II.)—Karikāla, whose defeat of the Pāṇḍya king while he was yet a boy is mentioned in the Tiruvālaṅgāḍu plates printed in the sequel. His father Sundarachōḷa-Parāntaka II. is already described as having driven a Pāṇḍya king into the forest. This must be the early Vīra-Pāṇḍya whose Vatteḻuttu inscriptions are found in the Tinnevelly district and in which he claims in his turn to have taken the head of the Chōḷa. Nandivarma-maṅgalam was evidently an earlier name of the modern Uyyakkoṇḍāṉ Tirumalai and must have been so called after the Pallava king Nandivarman. The temple of Kaṟkuḍi is mentioned in the hymns of the Dēvāram.See above, Vol. II, p. 375.

(Line 1.) In the 2nd year (of the reign) of king Parakēsarivarman who took the head of Vīra-Pāṇḍya, Irungōḷakkōṉ alias Pugaḻvippiragaṇḍaṉ Avanivallaṉ gave ninety sheep which neither die nor grow old for burning one perpetual lamp, as long as the moon and the sun (last), to the god Paramēśvara (Śiva) of Tiruk-Kaṟkuḍi in Nandipanmamaṅgalam, a brahmadēya on the southern bank (of the Kāvērī river).

(Ll. 12-16.) We, the servants of the god (dēvarkanmi), have received (these) ninety (sheep) and have agreed to burn the lamp with one uḻakku of ghee every day, measured by the uḻakku marked with the trident. This (gift) is (placed under) the protection of all Māhēśvaras.
