## Summary

Hero-stone (No. 2) lying in a field about two furlongs to the east of
Lōkanāthēśvara temple.

Pallavarasa (?), circa 9th century.

This record, in characters of about the 9th century A.D., states that
while Pallō-arasa (Pallavarasa ?) was ruling the nāḍu and Śāte-arasa of
the Vaidumba family was administering this ūr (i.e., Kāppalle ?) and
Kōṇakkī attacked the village in a cattle-raid after collecting
mārukoṭṭa, Pōrighaṭeśūṟe, son of Vaidumba Śūraparasa, the chief of
Muttukūru, died after gaining victory for the king and for himself and
saving the cattle. He was granted some land (maṇṇarasiṁgin-pāḍu ?) in
memory.
