## Summary

This consists of three verses in Sanskrit and two in Tamil describing
the fame and prowess of the Kēraḷa chief (or King) Adhikēndra
Vyāmukhaśravaṇōjvala. His regal emblems of a parasol and a bow below it
with what looking like chāmara (flywisk) flanking either side of it are
engraved below the inscription.
