## Summary

The inscription is damaged. It records a gift of land by a certain
Kaviṇiyaṉ Kīrttimā[r*]ttāṇḍa-Brahmādharājaṉ alias Śe . . . Kuñjaramallaṉ
for an offering to the deity during the early morning service in the
temple of Uḍaitalaipperumāḷ of the village. Mention is made of two
fields, one called Kuñjaramalla-Vayakkal and the other
Vēḷkula-Bhīma-Vayakkal. By Vēḷkula-Bhīma is perhaps meant the Eastern
Chāḷukya Bhīma II; more probably it might be a title of Parāntaka I
assumed after his overthrow of Śīṭpuli (-nāḍu ?) in Nellore which formed
part of the Eastern Chālukya dominion (M.E.R. 1913, p. 94).
Kirttimārttāṇḍa was a probable surname of the Rāshṭrakūṭa king Kṛishṇa
III. (M.E.R. 1936-37, para 20). This should be a record of Gaṇḍarāditya.
