## Summary

On a slab set up in the south-west corner of the Kallēśvara temple.

986 A.D.

This is dated in Śaka 907, Pārthiva, Phālguṇa, Puṇṇame, probably
corresponding to 986 A.D., February 27.

It seems to record a gift of income from levies to Bācha by the
One-hundred and twenty mahājanas of Sindamuge in appreciation of his
heroism in an attack by Kaliga and others. It further records the
conferring of the title Irmmaḍi-gadamba to Manneyara Ballaha for having
killed Kaliga.
