Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This inscription consists of 5 Tamil verses addressed to Sakalabhuvanachakravarttin Kōpperuñjiṅgadēva, surnamed Aḻagiyaśīyaṉ who is said, in the preliminary prose passage, to have defeated the Chōḷa king at Teḷḷāṟu and to have taken possession of his country after depriving his adversary of all his royal insignia and imprisoning him with his ministers. In the body of the record, Kōpperuñjiṅgadēva is called Avaninārāyaṇa, patron of Tamil, Kāḍava, Toṇḍaimaṉṉavaṉ, Nṛipatuṅga, Tribhuvanatti-Rājākkaḷ-Tambirāṉ, Mallaivēndaṉ, etc. The verses extol his prowess, fame, victory over the Chōḷas, Pāṇḍyas and the Kannaḍas and his abiding devotion to the god at Chidambaram.

Teḷḷāṟu may be identified with the village of the same name in the Wandiwash taluk of the North Arcot district. In one record,¹ this village is included in Siṁhaporuda-vaḷanāḍu (i.e.,) the Vaḷanāḍu where Siṁha, probably Kōpperuñjiṅga, fought.

Language: Undetermined (und).
