Summary: At the entrance into the maṇḍapa in the central shrine of the Māśilāmaṇīśvara temple.

Dēvarāya II. Undated.

This inscription records the royal order (irājakam) granting the proceeds from taxes like, śōḍi mugampārvai, aggaśālaikal, śampaḍam, viśēsha-Adāyam, ariśikāṇam, nal-erudu, naṟ-paśu, veṭṭi and kaṭṭāyam in favour of the temples at Kāñchīpuram, Kāḷahasti, Tiruvoṟṟiyūr, Tiruvālaṅgāḍu, Tiruppālaivanam, Tirumullaivāyal and other Śaiva and Vaishṇava temples, of Chandragiri for the conduct of daily services and festivals without break and stating that the temple lands should not be leased out. This order was issued at the instance of Vayiravanāyiṉār and the māhēśvaras of the temples, who represented that the services and festivals in the temple were not conducted properly as the incomes from taxes and from the temple lands were misappropriated by the Jīvitakkāṛar, the state officials and the Sthānattār.¹
