This inscription consists of a single Sanskrit verse in the Indravajra metre and of a passage in Tamil prose.  It is dated on a week-day (1. 3) which will probably admit of calculation, in the 18^th year of the reign of Tribhuvanachakravartin Rajarajadeva, and records the gift of two lamps to the image of Vishnu, and to an image of Narasimha which was set up in the same temple.

Hail ! Prosperity ! (Verse 1.) Srikrishna-Suri, a treasury of the scriptures (Agama), the full-moon of the ocean (which is) the Vadhula-gotra, gave a pair of lamps to the highest primal being (Vishnu) who resides at Ratnagrahara.[1]

(Line 2.) In the 18^th year (of the reign) of the emperor of the three worlds, the glorious Rajarajadeva, on the day of Sravana, which correspond to a Monday and to the first tithi of the first fortnight of the month of Makara, - we two, Srirama-Bhattan, who performs the worship in the temple of Mannanar (Vishnu) at Manimangalam, alias Gramasikhamani-chaturvedimangalam, and his younger brother Virrirundan Bhattan, received two kalanju of pure gold from Srikrishna-Bhattan,[2]  who performs the worship in the temple of Mannanar (Vishnu) at Manimangalam, alias Gramasikhamani-chaturvedimangalam, and his younger brother Virrirundan Bhattan, received two kalanju of pure gold from Srikrihsna-Bhatta[3] . . . . . . . . . . ..  .. . . of Kundur, (a resident) of this village.

(L. 6.) We two have caused to be engraved on stone that, (in return) for these two kalanju of pure gold, we shall have to burn, as long as the moon and the sun exist, one sacred lamp in the morning before the god Mannanar, and one sacred lamp in the evening before the god Singa-Perumal who is pleased to reside in the same temple.

No. 41.- On the east wall of the Dharmesvara temple

Like No. 40, this inscription is dated on a week-day which will probably admit of calculation, in the 18^th year of the reign of Tribhuvanachakravartin  Rajarajadeva.  It records that the same two brothers, who are mentioned in No. 39 above, paid to the authorities of the Dharmesvaa temple two kalanju of gold, from the interest of which the cost of feeding two lamps had to be defrayed.

(Line 1.) Hail ! Prosperity ! With the approval of the god, - in the 18^th year (of the reign) of the emperor of the three worlds, Sri-Rajarajadeva, on the day of Revati, which corresponded to a Tuesday and to the second tithi of the second fortnight of the month of Simha, - we, all the holders of the land (kani) of the Siva-Brahmanas of the temple of the lord Tanmisvara at Manimangalam, alias Gramasikhamani-chaturvedimangalam, in Kunrattur-nadu, (a subdivision) of Puliyur-kottam, alias Kulottunga-Sola-valanadu, (a district) of Jayankonda-Sola-mandalam, (viz.,) Gautaman Ambalakkutta-Bhattan, Kasyappan Gangadhara-Bhattan, and the partners[4] of  Kasyapan Truchchirrambala-Bhattan, received on interest from Brahmapriyan, the eldest son of Panchanadi Lakshmanan Malaiginiyaninran, the accountant of this village, and his younger brother Ahavamalladevan 2 kalanju of pure gold (under the condition) that we should burn at early dawn from this day two sacred lamps which (those two persons) had given (to the temple).

(L. 8.) We, all these persons, caused to be engraved on stone that, having received these two kalanju of gold, we shall be bound to burn (those two lamps) as long as the moon and the sun exist.

(L. 9.) This was written under order by Manimangalam-udaiyan Alumbiran.
