<summary>
<p>This inscription was partially copied in 1905 and then completely in 1910 after removing a wall obstructing a portion of the record. The middle portion of the inscription is damaged being chiselled away right through to construct a drain. It appears to be dated in the <hi rend="bold">6th year</hi> of <hi rend="bold">Pallava-Mahārāja</hi> <hi rend="italic">alias</hi> <hi rend="bold">Danti-Nandivarman</hi> of the Bhāra[dvāja-gōtra] and <hi rend="bold">Brahmakshatra</hi> family. The king's name, in the form given here, implies that Nandivarman was the son of Dantivarman. The inscription seems to record the praise of a certain <hi rend="bold">Śellikkōmāṉ Mallavān</hi> who is described as the nephew of Paraśirāman and the uncle of Māṟpiḍugu Iḷaṅgōvēḷāṉ Śāttaṉ. The record is stated to have been composed by a certain <hi rend="bold">Peruṅgāvidi Śaḍaiyaṉpaḷḷi.</hi></p>
<p><hi rend="italic">Puḷḷis</hi> are marked in the record in some cases.</p>
