This inscription records that certain tax-incomers from the village Visvanatanallur were given as sarvamanya by the king to provide for the festival on the days when Bharani fell in the month of Chittirai, of the god Visvanathar and for the abhisheks of the goddess Ulagammai, of Tenkasi in Tennari-nadu and that royal servants collected them by mistake, and that therefore the priests struck work. On knowing this the king ordered not only the return of the tax-amounts collected, to the temple but also re-granted the village Visvanathanallur for the same festival and abhisheka as sarvamanya. Besides, several other grants were also announced by the king. They are the remission of the kanikkai in the central shrine of the god, the cessation of the payment of panam being the share money due to Senkottai from Visvananallur, the remission of the amounts due on account of the temple-accountant, the Mahanavami-birthdays, and the kanam, the house-tax and the tax on Pal of the village, etc.
