Alternative title: “No. 6. (A.R. No. 6 of 1912.) TEṈKĀŚI, TENKASI TALUK, TIRUNELVELI DISTRICT. On the west and south walls, central shrine, Vīśvanāthaśvāmin temple.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: King: Parākrama Pāṇḍya Year 31+1, Kaṟkaṭaka 21, śu. di. 14, Thursday, uttirāḍam = 1454 A.D. Other details are irregular.

It records an agreement relating to the tax-free gift of land as dēvadāna to the tāṉattār of the Viśvanātha temple in Teṉkāśi in Teṉvāri-nāḍu from the 32nd regnal year of the king, Parākrama pāṇḍya, in the two villages Paimpoḻiṟpapaṟṟu and the other in Vaḍavāri-nāḍu.

Engraved in continuation of this record, another inscription which is totally different in contents, enumerates the gift of cows by different individuals (name given) in deference with an agreement (ōlai-piḍipāḍāga). One Kiḍārattūr uḍaiyān figures as the signatory as usual.

Language: Tamil (tam).
