Summary: This is a fragmentary inscription, the beginning and end being lost. The 6th regnal year of a Śrīvallabhadēva is mentioned in line 2. A gift of land in the village Durgābhagavatinallūr made probably by Kandāḍai Kāḷamēgha-Bhaṭṭa of the Āpastamba-sūtra seems to have been recorded originally. Palæographically the record may be assigned to the 12th century.

Commentary

The slab on which this was engraved is not now traceable in the temple. During repairs, it appears to have been thrown away.
