## Summary

This is the same as Kulōttuṅga I. The inscription begins with a short
introduction Bhūmiyum-tiruvum etc. It registers an assignment of land
(under the orders of the king) by sēnāpati Rājēndraśōḻa-Brahmādhirāja
and the sabhā of Kuṅgaṉūr alias Vaḷavanārāyaṇachaturvēdimaṅgalam in
Puli-nāḍu, a division of Raṭṭapāḍikoṇḍaśōḻamaṇḍalam for the construction
of a tank called the Rājēndraśōḻapperiyēri in the village.
