III Prakara, Nalikettan-Vasal, south and west walls of the proper right Niche in the passage

Saka 1572 (1650 A.D.) 

Registers a poliyuttu gift by Cheruku Chennamanayakan for various offerings on the occasion when the deity was brought and seated in the mandapa in the grove which was also granted by the donor to the deity.  The writing is very faint and illegible and is a Palimpsest over an earlier record.  The prefaces in Telugu gives the details Uttirashadha of the date viz., Saka 1572, Vikriti, Margasira, ba. 5, Sunday, and the Tamil section that follows gives the details of date viz.  Saka 1572, Vikriti, Vrischika, su. 5, Sunday, Uttirattadi.  The intended date seems to be 1650 A.D., November 17, when the paksha was sukla and the star was Uttarashadha.
