The king in this inscription is described by the title Śōṇāḍu vaḻaṅgiyaruḷiya.

This records an allotment of different pieces of land, granted by different people as kuḍīnīṅgā tiruviḍaiyāṭṭam for food offerings to god Padineṇbhūmi-viṇṇagara Emperumāṉ and his consort for whom shrines were erected by the Nagarattār of Teliṅgakula kālapuram alias Kulōttuṅgachōḻa-paṭṭiṉam in Iraṭṭapāḍikoṇḍaśōḻa-vaḷanāḍu. The nagarattār agreed to arrange for the remittance of 57 kalam of paddy measured by śūlakkāl for the said service and took upon themselves the burden of paying taxes viz. tiruvāśal-pōnda iṟai, kuḍimai, antarāyam, etc. In case of failure of crops, a remission was to be allowed after due inspection. One-sixth of the summer crops was to be paid to the temple.

Provision was also made for the repairs in the temple from levies such as āḍaikkāśu and Kiḍāykkāśu collected from the bride’s party in a marriage.
