This inscription is dated in the ninth year of Vīra-Rājendra-Choḷa-deva. It records the gift of a piece of land from the great assembly (mahāsabhā) of Śi[ṟi]davūr, alias Narasiṁha-maṅgalam to “our lord of Tirukkaḍalmallai.” By this the Shore Temple at Māmallapuram seems to be meant.

Hail! In the ninth year of (the reign of) the illustrious Vī[ra]-Rājendra-Śoṛadeva, we, the great assembly (mahāsabhā) of Śi[ṟi]davūr, alias Narasiṁha-maṅgalam, gave to our lord (of) Tirukkaḍalmallai as exclusive property,This seems to be the meaning of the technical term tiruviṭaiyāṭṭam which occurs also in the Poygai inscriptions. with exemption from taxes, 5 rice-fields (taḍi), consisting of 2,000 kuṛis (of land; 1. at) Maṅgalachcheṟu to the south of the Ukkāviri channel (at) our village; and (2. at) Nārāyaṇaṉ-māṅgalūr, alias Kūttāḍi-paṭṭi, where (the temple of) this god (? kuṟiyāṉ) stands.

The remaining ten lines of the inscription are mutilated at the beginning and much obliterated; the only two intelligible words are Eḻuttu in line 26 and nārāyaṇaṉ in line 28.
