It appears that the taxes were being collected without reference to the prevailing prices. Some settlements seem to have been made previously by Devargalnayan alias Bukkana Udaiyar.

In the details of the date given viz., Saka 1 ’17, Sarvari, ba. 7, Monday, the Saka year does not agree with the cyclic year. The mention of the king Virupaksha as the son of Gajavettai-Pratapa-Devaraya and the mention of Narasingarajudaiyar who may be identified with the Saluva chief of that name, enables us to identify the king with Virupaksha III (1465 – 1485 A.D.)
