The inscription in Tamil poetry is fragmentary; but from the available portion, it can be inferred that it refers to the building of the temple at Tirumāttūr by a certain Tamiḻavēḷ in about the 8th year of reign of Vira-Pāṇḍya. This record contains an eulogy of this chieftain. There is a reference to some who was well-versed in Sanskrit and Tamil works, such as the Vēdas, the Purāṇas, PAtañjala mudar-paṉuval, etc. As the name Teṉṉavaṉ is mentioned in another record, that word combined with Tamiḻavēḷ seems to give the full title ‘Teṉṉavaṉ-Tamiḻavēḷ’ of the chieftain, who erected the ŚrIkaṇThēśvaram temple in stone. This chief figures in a record dated in the 12th year of Vīra-Pāṇḍya at Ambāsamudram in the Tirunelveli district.No. 101 of 1905 published in Epigraphia Indica, Vol. XXV, p. 35. See No. 95 below.
