## Summary

On the rock which forms the north wall of the Tirumalaikkaḍambar temple.

Rājēndra II. Year 3: 1054-55 A.D.

This inscription commences with the praśasti Tirumaruviya, etc., of the
king. Here the title of the king viz., Rājakēsari seems to be a mistake
for Parakēsari.

This seems to record a grant of gold for services and offerings during
the three sandhis to the god set up by themselves in [Tirumalaikaḍa]mbūr
Tirumalai by the merchants and devotees of this god resident in that
place. Other details are lost as it is built in at the beginning.
