Summary: Commemoration of a tiruppaṇi ("glorious temple service") by the ascetic Guṇasāgara, disciple of the master Jinasena of the Sena congregation, in Tirumayilāpuri. It is not clear if the inscribed bronze is the tiruppaṇi itself (in which case the record is about the donation / installation of this bronze image) or if the tiruppaṇi was performed in respect of this preexisting bronze image. It is neither clear if Tirumayilāpuri is just the seat of the Sena congregation or also the place of installation of the bronze image.

Hand Description:

No distinction between e and ē, nor between o and ō.
