This Vaṭṭeḻuttu inscription of eight short lines is engraved in early characters but owing to the damaged condition of the rock, as well as the peculiar nature of the script, its purport cannot be clearly made out. It is not dated in the reign of any Pāṇḍya king known to epigraphy, but appears, however, to refer to the death of some hero probably in one of the frontier skirmishes, which were frequent events in early, Pāṇḍya history.

The writing may be attributed to the 7th century A.D. and may be compared with the label inscription of two lines engraved in the rock-cut cave at Piḷḷaiyārpaṭṭi,No. 156 of 1935-36. Ramanathapuram district and another label at Aivarmalai,No. 115 below. Madurai district.
