The inscription is dated in the 5th year opposite to the 4th year of the king's reign. It states that the affairs of the stone temple named Śrikaṇṭhēśvaram erected by Teṉṉavaṉ Kaṇḍaṉ-Śāttaṉ for the god Bhaṭāra at Tirumāttūr, were examined by this officer, and that the wet and dry lands belonging to the temple priests (aganāḻigaiyār) drummers, etc., situated in Birundaiyūr, were also properly checked and regulated.

The fact that the old dēvadāṉa lands were checked in the time of Vīra-Pāṇḍya indicates that the temple had existed from earlier times, probably as a brick structure, and that it was now rebuilt of stone by this chieftain, with the new name of Śrīkaṇṭhēśvaram, after his own name of Kaṇḍaṉ, and the flower-garden called ‘Śōḻāntakaṉ’ was endowed in the name of the king himself. This chieftain is called Teṉṉavaṉ-Tamiḻavēḷ in another record.No. 87 below.
