## Summary

This inscription consists of 5 Tamil verses addressed to
Sakalabhuvanachakravarttin Kōpperuñjiṅgadēva, surnamed Aḻagiyaśīyaṉ who
is said, in the preliminary prose passage, to have defeated the Chōḷa
king at Teḷḷāṟu and to have taken possession of his country after
depriving his adversary of all his royal insignia and imprisoning him
with his ministers. In the body of the record, Kōpperuñjiṅgadēva is
called Avaninārāyaṇa, patron of Tamil, Kāḍava, Toṇḍaimaṉṉavaṉ,
Nṛipatuṅga, Tribhuvanatti-Rājākkaḷ-Tambirāṉ, Mallaivēndaṉ, etc. The
verses extol his prowess, fame, victory over the Chōḷas, Pāṇḍyas and the
Kannaḍas and his abiding devotion to the god at Chidambaram.

Teḷḷāṟu may be identified with the village of the same name in the
Wandiwash taluk of the North Arcot district. In one record,[1] this
village is included in Siṁhaporuda-vaḷanāḍu (i.e.,) the Vaḷanāḍu where
Siṁha, probably Kōpperuñjiṅga, fought.
