Summary: King: Kumāra Kampaṇṇa Year: Sādāraṇa, Aṟpasi, 24th day.

This incomplete inscription begins with the order of the ruler, Kumāra Kampaṇṇa. It records that various temple personnel, śrī-rudra, śrī māhēśvara, tāṉattār, and nāṭṭār and also the higher official Tuṇaiyirundān Nambi assembled at Vyakaraṇadānattirukāvaṇam at Tiruvoṟṟiyūr to settle the disputes, between the ishabat-taḷiyilār also called sokkat-taḷiyilār, and dēvaraḍiyār, pertaining to the order of precedance in the matter of discharging their services on various occasions and obtaining privileges and honour. It also records the regulation of various services to be discharged by them in the order of precedance i.e. ishabattaḷiyilār were to serve in the shrine of the god and dēvaraḍiyār in that of the goddess. Further the record stipulates that ishabattaḷiyilār were to perform dance, agamāṟkam and sindhu at the Nāyanār-tirumaṇḍapa while the dēvaraḍiyār were to perform the same at Nāchchiyār-tirumaṇḍapa. The record also refers to certain dances and modes of singing and the recital of the Tiruppadiyam and Tiruvembāvai hymns and Tiruppallāṇḍu by the dēvaraḍiyār. The record also mentions the hymns Tiruchchāḻal (composed by saint Māṇikkavāsagar) were to be recited both by the ishabattaḷiyilār and dēvaraḍiyār in turn. This inscription also lays down the honour to be received by various groups of persons, vīraṇukkar, kaikkōḷar and muṭṭukkārar.

Tiruñānasambandan, a supervisory official (māhēśvarakkaṇkāṇi) and others figure as signatories.
