This inscription is incised on a rock situated to the west of the ruined stupa at Mädagama Vihāra in the Tisāva Kōraḷē of the Kuruṇǟgala District. Another inscription (IN03182) is written on the same rock in an almost identical script. Both inscriptions deal with matters related to the freeing of slaves and can be dated on palaeographic grounds to the seventh century A.D.
