Summary: In the present inscription, it is stated that a gift made in the 2nd year was engraved on stone in the 30th year of the chief. It records a gift of 1 vēli of land in Māmbaṭṭu, free of taxes, for providing worship and offerings in the temple of Ūrbāgaṅkoṇḍaruḷiya-Mahādēva at Iṟaiyāṉaraiyūr alias Śōḻakēraḷa-chaturvēdimaṅgalam, a brahmadēya in Paraṉūr-kūṟṟam, a subdivision of Malāḍu alias Jananātha-vaḷanāḍu, by Vāṇakōvaraiyar Vaṉṉeñja-Nāyaṉār. The document is attested by the Kēḷvi-mudali Śiṅgaḷarāyar, Rā[ja]vīrarāyar and Rājēndraśōḻa-Brahmārāyar and by Viḻuppādarāyar, the engraver of royal records.

The donor, who belongs to Āṟagaḷūr, had already figured in the 11th year of Kōpperuñjiṅgadēva.1

The village Māmbaṭṭu is identical with Māmbaḻappaṭṭu in the Villupuram taluk and close to Tirukkōyilūr.

According to the astronomical details given, the date of the record is A.D. 1272, October 10, Monday.
