Records the settlement arrived at in the time of the local chief Eddulappa-Nāyaka to collect from the family of the ruling chief of Amanasamudram, a marriage tax of four pon, for the god Amaņēsuraśvāmi and the stipulation made against the alieneation of land as dowry on marriage occasions.
Reference
ARE, 186/1927.
Remarks
The boulder contains the figure of a Tirthankara flanked by two attendants, and the whole group is mistakenly called by the local people as Trimurti image. The inscription, found by its side, reveals that the image was called Amapēsvaraśvāmi and the area Amanasamudram. ARE, 1927, pt. 2, p. 118. The date of the chieftain is known from another record (ARE, 187/1927) from the same place.
