## Summary

This is a fragmentary record of Dantivikramavarman. It mentions a
certain [Kā]ḍuveṭṭi-Muttaraiyaṉ at whose request an endowment of 4 paṭṭi
of land was made to the old temple of Vishṇu called Tirumēṟṟaḷi at
Iṟaiyāṉchēri and to a maṭha, probably attached to it.

Reference to a Kāḍuveṭṭi-Muttaraśan who made a raid on Kōyāttūr in the
reign of the Bāṇa king Vijayāditya Vīrachūḷāmaṇi Prabhumēru is noticed
in a record from Puṅganūr (No. 542 of 1906). This chief was probably
identical with the Kāḍuveṭṭi-Muttaraiyaṉ mentioned in the present
inscription as he lived about this period.
