## 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.
