(This inscription) was formulated in memory of Maharaja Samara who drove Chola out of all Sri Lanka.
The village of Mehendibapiti, which is owned by Maharaja Samara, should be given to the tenant, it should be remembered at this time; We have been released by this king, he must be remembered, our villages and lands have been released by this king, it must also be remembered that no matter how many villages he owns, how many houses and gardens he owns, the houses and the gardens would remain uninhabited without any court officials invading their rights and plundering them.This inscription wrote about the story of Adipada Mahendra who had been defeated in a battle.
According to a theory proposed by Puranavitana, in 1044, Rajendra Chola I was supposedly assassinated when he visited Srivijaya by a Srivijayan prince called Purendara as per the orders of Samara.
[1] On the contrary, according to South Indian epigraphs and records, Rajendra Chola I died in Brahmadesam now a part of North Arcot district in Tamil Nadu, India.
It adds that the queen's brother who was a general in Rajendra's army set up a watershed at the same place in memory of his sister.
