## Summary

This is a record of Āditya I, mutilated at the right end. It seems to
register the gift of a golden fore head plate (evidently to an image in
the temple) by a lady, the wife of (prince) Kannaradēva. The gift was
left in charge of the nagarattār of Maṇavūr. Kannaradēva is surmised to
have been a son of Āditya and brother to Parāntaka (M.E.R. 1895, p. 5).
