The text is published in the ‘Inscriptions (Texts) of the Pudukottai State’ page 11, No. 19 and in Jl O.R. Vol. VIII, pp. 29-30, but the readings there are not reliable. See also Jl. of S.I. Association, October 1910, p. 181 and July 1911 pp. 27 and 28. The record is badly engraved towards the end.
