Omitting that portion of the grant which is common to the Hampi' and the Conjeeveram records, which have already been published, we find that the inscription, incised on these plates, refers to the reign of king Krishnarāya of the second Vijayanagara dynasty and records the grant of the village Pēyalabanda, also named Krishnarayapuram, which was situated within the limits of the principality of Nadugalla, to Nrisimhadhvarisarman, son of PalichiigniVishna(shpujyajvirya of the Agastya-yatra and the Badhiyana-stilra. It describes the donee us having commented on all the stixtras and performed the Sarvakratu sacrifice.
The date given in the charter is pārņimă of the month of Vaisakha in the Saka year 1446 corresponding to the cyclic year Tāraṇa. It is regular and, according to the Jate Mr. L. D. Swamikkannu l'illai's Ephemeris, equivalent to 18th April 1524 A.D., Monday.
Of the places mentioned in the grant, Pēgalabanda is evidently Pailbanın in the Madaksira Taluk of the Anantapur District and Kurrubaśivara is apparently Paläsivaram. The latter inight have been called Kurrubuśivarit because of its being inhabited by shepherds (Kurrubas).
