This is a Sanskrit inscription dated in the cyclic year Jaya (Kārthigai 11) which would correspond to Śaka 1576 (A.D. 1654). It records a provision made by Veṅkaṭa-Bhūpāla (evidently the donor of the Chennasāgara tank mentioned in No. 262 above) for the maintenance of the tank in proper condition for irrigating the lands, by the grant of the cess collected from the owners.
