Summary: On the north wall of the first prākāra in the Vēdāraṇyēśvara temple.

Rājarāja III. Year 29+1: 1245-46 A.D.

This inscription refers to the invasion by Siṅgaṇa Daṇḍanāyaka of the Chōḷa country in the 25th year (1240-41 A.D.) of Rājarāja’s reign.

It records the order (tāṉa-niyōgam) of the trustees (sthānattār) of the temple of Tirukkōḍikkuḻagar in Kuṉṟūr-nāḍu, a division of Umbaḷa-nāḍu conferring certain honours on Śāttaṉ Bhaṭṭanambi alias Uttamaṉ-Nambi of Atulaparākkiramapuram in Kāṉattūr-nāḍu, who besides providing a capital of 50,000 kāśu for repairs, undertook to provide for the re-consecration, daily worship and festivals in the temple, which had been disturbed and neglected due to the invasion of Siṅgaṇa Daṇḍanāyaka.
