Summary: This is an inscription of Uttama-Chōḷa. It records an endowment in money made by Baṭṭaṉ Dānatoṅgiyār Maḻapāḍi Tennavaṉ-Mahādēviyār, Vānavaṉ-Mādēviyār daughter of Iruṅgōḷar and two others the daughters of Viḻupparaiyar and Paḻavēṭṭaraiyar (chiefs)-all queens of Uttama-Chōḷa for special worship and offerings in the temple on the days of Kēṭṭai (asterism) in Chittirai month, that being the natal star of their mother-in-law (queen Śembiyan-Mahādēvi). The amounts are said to have been entrusted for the purpose with the Chaturvēdibhaṭṭa-Tānapperumakkaḷ by which seems to be meant the committee of management who were bound by obligation (śāsana-baddha). The inscription is built in at the right end and bottom.

Language: Tamil (tam).
