At the commencement of each line of the first section, a few syllables are lost, and the first five lines of the same section are considerably damaged about the middle.

Like No. 4, this inscription specifies the revenue in paddy and the revenue in gold, to be paid by a number of villages which Rajarajadeva had given to the temple.
