## Summary

On the south base of the maṇḍapa in front of the central shrine in the
Śivāṅkurēśvara temple.

Kṛishṇadēvarāya. Ś. 1439, Īsvara: 1517-18 A.D.

This inscription gives an account of the eastern campaign of the king
and inter alias mentions the capture of Tirumalai Rāhuttarāya.

It records that while he was halting at Bhējawāḍai, on the banks of the
river Kṛishṇavēṇī, he remitted jōḍi, and araśupēṟu as sarvamānya in
favour of a number of Śiva and Vishṇu temples in the Chōḷa country.

It may be mentioned that copies of the inscription were engraved in
different temples in the Chōḷa country.[1]
