This inscription gives an insight into the management of temple affairs. It is dated in the 6th year of Sakalabhuvanachakravartti Avaṉiyāḷappiṟandār alias Kōpperuñjiṅgadēva. The temple at Chidambaram was at this time managed by a committee consisting of the following members and groups, viz., Jayatuṅgap-Pallavaraiyar, Tillaämbalap-Pallavaraiyar, Māhēśvara-kaṇkāṇiśeyvār, Śrīkāryañśeyvār, Sāmudāyañcheyvār, Kōyilnāyakañcheyvār, Tirumāḷigaikkūṟuśeyvār and the accountants.

It registers a grant of land made by Śoṭṭai-Nāyaka alias Kumāra-Bhaṭṭa of Irāyūr residing in Poṉmēyndaśōḻa-chaturvēdimaṅgalam for a flower garden called ‘Tirunilai-Aḻagiyāḷ’ for supplying flowers to the god and the goddess Tirukkāmakkōṭṭamuḍaiya Periyanāchchiyār with an additional plot by purchase from Poṉṉāṇḍi, wife of Uḻaichchāṇan Mādēvaṉ Tiruchchiṟṟambalamuḍaiyāṉ of Perumbaṟṟappuliyūr, as tirunāmattukkāṇi, for the maintenance of the person looking after this garden.

The village Poṉmēyndaśōḻa-chaturvēdimaṅgalam must have been so named after the title of Kulōttuṅga-Chōḷa II.Ep. Rep. for 1927, p. 81. The inscription purpots to be an order of Śōḻakōṉ.
