Summary: This inscription registers the order of Śōḻakōṉ issued in the 8th year of the chief, granting 4 [vēli] and 6 mā of land in Kaḍavāychchēri alias Tillaināyakanallūr, a hamlet of Perumbaṟṟappuliyūr, with the new name Tiruvambalapperumāḷpuram for settling on it the Śāliyar (i.e.) the weaving class, stipulating that the latter should provide cloths for the pariśaṭṭam of the god and goddess Tirukkāmakkōṭṭamuḍaiya-Periyanāchchiyār in the temple. This inscription states that Śōḻakōṉ was also called Perumāḷ-Piḷḷai, that he belonged to Araśūr and that he was one of the mudalis (officers) of the chief. The streets named after Kulōttuṅga-Chōḷa, Kōpperuñjiṅgadēva and Rājākkaḷtambirāṉ are also mentioned in the record.
