This damaged and undated inscription belongs to the reign of the king Vikramaditya-Bhatara and mentions Ayyavole (i.e., the modern Aihole).  The writer was Chandradeva.  In the absence of the date it is not possible to assign the epigraph definitely to Vikramaditya I or Vikramaditya II.  Probably it belongs to the latter.
