## Summary

On a broken pillar lying in the Lakshmīnarasimhasvāmin temple.

It mentions Jakkita, son of Pallava Tāta of Ātrēya-gōtra and
Taitirīya-śākhā, who was residing in Pākala-agrahāra in Gudravāṭa-dēśa
of Veṅgimaṇḍaḷa when Kakkaladēva was ruling, and seems to refer to some
gift (details lost) in Sōmēśvarāsthāna.
