Starts with an invocation to Lord Jina. Issued from the victorious camp Palāśikā by Kākutsthavarman, the Kadamba Yuvarāja, during his 80th year, the epigraph records a gift of a field called Badovara kṣetra situated in the village of Kheṭagrāma to the general Śrutakīrti. The village Kheṭagrāma has been stated as belonging to the holy Arhats. The gift is stated to have been made in order to (spiritually) protect himself (ātmanastāraṇārtham). The year 80 mentioned in the grant has to be counted probably from the date Kākutsthavarman was anointed as Yuvarāja or from the date of the coronation of the founder of the dynasty Mayūravarman.
