svasti śrī kalivadejamuni maganṟu śrī sajaḷa koḍuku gaṇḍara mutrāju vaiduṁbuḷa cētaṁ baṭṭaṁkaṭṭabaḍi yēli kumuḷu kayyaṁbuna boḍici paḍiye ḻōṅkaḷāku

Hail! Gaṇḍara Mutrāju, son of Śrī Sajaḷa, (who is) the son of Kalivadejama, having been anointed by the Vaidumbas and having ruled, fought with the Ḷōṅkuḷas in the battle at Kumuḷu and fell.

The text follows the edition of J. Ramayya Pantulu in 343640 in absence of a picture. The dots used in the edition to indicate lost or unintelligible characters can not clearly be attributed to a certain quantity of characters (one dot may indicate one or more lost or unintelligible characters). In line 6 J. Ramayya Pantulu's edition reads ḻōjkaḷāku which is corrected to ḻōṅkaḷāku by Lakshminarayan Rao (lviii). The form ḻōjkaḷāku in the edition is clearly a misprint.

The inscription was noted in A. R. No. 309 of 1922 and first published by J. Ramayya Pantulu in 343640 with few metadata and without translation. K. M. Sastry 343 provides a translation while relying on J. Ramayya Pantulu's edition.The original entry number of the inscription (640) was flipped with 638 in the bibliographical reference in 342-343.
