## Summary

The inscription is badly damaged. The portion to the right of this which
is in the same script records a gift of gold for a perpetual lamp in the
temple of Mahādēva at Paḻaṅgōḷūr by Chāmuṇḍē . . . ., son of Pāpaiyaṉ,
an officer under Nuḷambar Vīraśōḻa. Both this Pāpaiyaṉ and Vīraśōḻa
figure in No. 361 of 1925 from the same place, dated in the 29th year of
an unspecified king. The latter was possibly a local chieftain who was
subordinate to Rājarāja I and was also known as Vīra-Chōḷa.
