Summary: On the north and west walls of the central shrine in the Vrishabhapurīśvara temple.

Rājēndra (I?). Year 10: 1021-22 A.D. (?)

This inscription is dated in the 10th year of Parakēsari Rājēndra. On palaeographical considerations and also on account of the absence of the title Tribhuvanachakravartigaḷ, the king may be identified with Rājēndra I.

It records a gift of sheep for a perpetual lamp to god Tiruttāṉṟoṉṟi Mahādēvar of Śēvūr by Eḻuvan-Āḍavalān, the inhabitant of [Arak]karānmūr in Ōymā-nāḍu.

Language: Tamil (tam) [Grantha (grantha), Tamil (tamil)].
