## Summary

This inscription records the death of a hero named Todupatti Mātiragaṉ
(probably a mahout),[1] on the day when the village (i.e. Olakkūr) was
destroyed in the confusion caused by Kampapperumāḷ with his elephants. A
figure of this hero advancing with a drawn sword in his right hand is
also represented on the stone.
