## Commentary

This inscription appears to be part of a group of three related
inscriptions found in the same temple, the other two being EC 10 Kl 108
= TIOTN 4 and EC 10 Kl 112a TIOTN 17. It is thus likewise to be dated to
the time of Rājendra Cōḻa, year 20.

## Bibliography

Edited (18 epigraphical lines) and translated in Rice 1905 (EC 10 Kl
106d).
