The inscription contained a verse composed by Vedanta Desikar. The resumption of worship in the temple, “released the suppressed spirit of the people” . The inscription stated, Hail! Prosperity! In the Saka year (expressed by the chronogram) bandhupriya (i.e. Saka-Samvat 1293). (Verse 1.) Having brought (the god) from the Anjanadri (mountain; Tirupati), the splendour of whose darkish peaks gives delight to the world, having worshipped (him) at Chenchi (Senji, Gingee) for some time, then having slain the Tulushkas whose bows were raised, — Goppanarya, the mirror of fame, placing Ranganatha together with both Lakshmi and the Earth in his own town (i.e. Srirangam), again duly performed excellent worship. (Verse 2.) Having carried Rangaraja, the lord of the world, from the slope of the Vrishabhagiri (mountain; Tirupati) to his capital (i.e. Chenchi), having slain by his army the proud Taulushka soldiers, having made the site of Sriranga united with the golden age (Kritayuga), and having placed there this (god) together with Lakshmi and the Earth, — the Brahmana Gopana duly performs, like the lotus-born (Brahma), the worship which has to be practised . Gopana-Udaiyar gifted fifty-two villages to the temple, and Harihara II and his son, performed the tulapurusha ceremony"
