Summary: This record dated in the 4th year of Jaṭāvarmaṉ Śrīvallabhadēva is much damaged at the end. Its contents cannot, therefore, be correctly ascertained. It appears to register a gift made by Veḷḷāṉai-Viṭaṅkaṉ Avaiyañjāṉ, the chief of Adaḷaiyūr in Kēraḻaśiṅga-vaḷanāḍu, of certain taxes due from Mēṟkaṇṇamaṅgalam in favour of the temple of Śrīmūlasthānam-uḍaiya-Nāyaṉār on the hill called Tirumalai in Adaḷaiyūr-nāḍu.
