This inscription is dated in the 17th year of Madiraikoṇḍa Rājakēsarivarman and registers a gift of 96 sheep for a lamp to the Vishṇu temple at Gōvindapāḍi in Valla-nāḍu, a subdivision of Dāmar (Dāmal)-kōṭṭam.

Gōvindavāḍi and Dāmal are villages in the Conjeeveram taluk of the Chingleput district. The former is quite close to Tirumālpuram in the Arkonam taluk of the North Arcot district and is identical with the Gōvindapāḍi of our inscription.
