Like the other inscriptions of the place this is said to be a copy of an old document engraved on a loose stone. It records an endowment of 70 kaḻañju of gold, left in charge of the sabhā of Tirukkōḍikkā alias Kaṇṇamaṅgalam, for the daily supply of an ulakku of ghee for a perpetual lamp and of two nāḻi of rice for offerings in the temple of Mahādēva, by Kumāraṉ Gaṇavadi(pati), a merchant of Nandipuram in Paḻaiyāṟu. Paḻaiyāṟu was one of the places in the south where Pallava Nandivarman III is said to have fought battles (Sewell's Historical Inscriptions of Southern India, p. 34). In later times, it is known to have been a Chōḷa capital under the name Muḍigoṇḍaśōḻapuram, and the royal palace therein is referred to in several inscriptions (M.E.R. 1927, II, 12 and 33). This is distinct from Gaṅgaikoṇḍaśōḻapuram in the Trichinopoly district, the city founded by Rājēndra-Chōḷa I in commemoration of his northern campaign of conquest (S.I.I. Vol. III, Intr. p. 20).
