This inscription was partially copied in 1905 and then completely in 1910 after removing a wall obstructing a portion of the record. The middle portion of the inscription is damaged being chiselled away right through to construct a drain. It appears to be dated in the 6th year of Pallava-Mahārāja alias Danti-Nandivarman of the Bhāra[dvāja-gōtra] and Brahmakshatra family. The king's name, in the form given here, implies that Nandivarman was the son of Dantivarman. The inscription seems to record the praise of a certain Śellikkōmāṉ Mallavān who is described as the nephew of Paraśirāman and the uncle of Māṟpiḍugu Iḷaṅgōvēḷāṉ Śāttaṉ. The record is stated to have been composed by a certain Peruṅgāvidi Śaḍaiyaṉpaḷḷi.

Puḷḷis are marked in the record in some cases.
