## Summary

On the west wall of the maṇḍapa in front of the Varadarāja Perumāḷ
shrine in the Chandramauḷīśvara temple.

Adhirājēndra. Year 2: 1068-69 A.D.

This epigraph contains two portions, one in Sanskrit and the other in
Tamil. The former engraved in Grantha characters records that
Kōtachōḷaka Vimāna originally built of brick was now rebuilt of stone by
Śēndaṉ (Jayantan) Poyakāpati. The Tamil portion which is incomplete
while recording the same fact describes him as Kumāri Śēndaṉ alias
Jayaṅgoṇḍaśōḻa Viḻupparaiya-nāḍāḻvāṉ, a kuḍippaḷḷi of Poypākkam in
Paṉaiyūr-nāḍu in Rājēndraśōḻa-vaḷanāḍu. (See Introḍuction).
