The record is very much damaged. The king is said to have witnessed the elephant hunt. It records a gift of 19 pon and 3 paņam by a dandandyaka (name not clear) of the king, for the expenses of worship and offerings to the deity Vallabha Perumal (?) in the (Jaina) temple at Tirumalai in Maņņaikkula-nāļu, a sub-division of Murugamangalapparnu in Palkungakottam of Jayarkondašolamandalam, for the merit of his overlord.
