This inscription is dated in the 14th year of Parakēsarivarman, ‘the conqueror of Madura,’ and records a gift of land for a lamp to the Śiva temple at Karugāvūr near Tirukkuḍamūkkil by a certain merchant of Nandipuram. The village Nandipuram is mentioned in the Nālāyiraprabandham as the seat of a Vishṇu temple and is identical with Nāthaṉkōvil near Kumbakōṇam. Uṭpalāṟu, on which the village Karugāvūr is stated to have been situated, must be one of the several branches of the river Kāvērī.

The puḷḷi or virāma is marked almost throughout this inscription.

Hail ! Prosperity ! In the 14th year of (the reign of) king Parakēsarivarman, who took Madirai (Madura), I, Śāmuṇḍaṉ Mūrti, a merchant of Nandipuram, purchased at Karugāvūr (and gave) one mā and three kāṇi of land on the north (bank) of the Uṭpalāṟu (river) of this village and three kāṇi to the east of the Ālattūr-channel—in all one eighth (vēli) of land, for one perpetual lamp (to burn) as long as the moon and the sun (last), to (the temple of) Mahādēva (Śiva) at Karugāvūr near Tirukkuḍamūkkil which was a dēvadāna in Pāmbūr-nāḍu on the northern bank (of the Kāvērī). From the income of this (land) given by Śāmuṇḍaṉ Mūrti, after deducting its taxes, (one) perpetual lamp shall burn day and night as long as the moon and the sun (endure). The (one) thousand tiruvaḍi of this village shall protect this charity. The dust of the sacred feet of these (persons) shall be on my head.
