Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This inscription dated in the 15th year of reign of Śrīvallabha registers a gift of land made by Araśu Madaḷaikkūttaṉ alias Śivakaruṇālayaṉ, a merchant of the Maṇigrāmam guild of Koḍumbālūr for providing piṭṭu offering to the god Tiruttandōṉṟīśvaram-uḍaiyār.

The Maṇigrāmam guild of Koḍumbāḷūr is mentioned in an earlier record of the time of the Chōḷa king Parakēsarivarman from Salem. Aruviyūr, a village near Sivapuri was a trading centre and was called Dēśi-uyyavanda-paṭṭaṇam. Merchants from different localities must have colonised this settlement.

Language: Tamil (tam).
