Summary: On the east wall of the maṇḍapa in front of the central shrine in the Vālīśvara temple.

Kulōttuṅga III. Year 32: 1209-10 A.D.

This inscription records the gift of the village Nīrvāyil, made free of levies (āyam) in cash, gold and paddy by Śaśikulachaḷukki Tani-niṉṟu-veṉṟa Vīranārasiṅga alias Yādavarāya for taking out the deity Tirukkārikarai-uḍaiyār in procession during Chittirai festival.

Vīra Nārasiṅgadēva alias Yādavarāya, a well-known feudatory of Kulōttuṅga III figures as the donor in this inscription and hence the king may be identified with Kulōttuṅga III. The donor is mentioned with a string of birudas such as Karavāḷa-Bhairava, Śrī-Kāḷahastīśa-pādārādhaka, Kanuppārapuravarādhīśvara, etc.
