## Summary

This damaged inscription of Tribhuvanachakravartin Śrīvallabha states

in the palace to the north of Śōḻāntaka-chaturvēdimaṅgalam in
Pāgaṉur-kūṟṟam and issued the order to the sabhaiyār of
Vīranārāyaṇamaṅgalam in Tugavūr-kūṟṟam and of some other village in
regard to a new colony founded by him, the name of which is obliterated.
