is dated Saka 996, Ananda, Asvija punnami, Tuesday, lunar eclipse,
corresponding to 1074 A.D., October 7.
It
records a gift of the village Kallamanapalli to the god Tripurusha by Kannadagandhivigrahadhipati,
Mahaprachanda-dandanayaka Jannamayya, with the approval of the king.
The donor is said to have had a temple constructed in honour of

a slab lying in the Maruthi temple
Somesvara
II
The
inscription contains references to the followingtwo dates : (1) Saka 911
(wrong for 912) and Vikrita in the reign of Taila II, corresponding to
990-91 A.D. (2) Saka 955, Srimukha in the reign of Jagadekamalla
Jayasimha II, corresponding to 1033-34 A.D. But from an allusion to
Somesvara II found in the epigraph, it appears to have been incised on
stone later during the reign period of this king (1069-76 A.D.).
The
record gives an account of the Sinda chiefs of Bagadage and mentions a
gift of land made by Nagaditya of this family.
