This stone inscription, which is inscribed across two sides of white marble pillar is located in the first maṇḍapa of the Rāmaliṅgasvāmin temple in Vēlpūru.
The inscription records the installation of an image of Vināyaka, a form of Gaṇēśa and offerings to the deity by Mādhavavarman. Within the inscription Mādhavavarman is refered to as the son of Gōvindavarman and that the donation was made to increase the kings spiritual merit.
The inscription is damaged resulting in the date of the donation being uncertain although it does date to the 33rd year of Mādhavavarman’s reign.
