Text: Inscription includes descriptions of the virtues of King Nissankamalla and mentions that the members of the Kalinga royal dynasty who protected the subjects with good governance were the most suitable to be kings. It also mentions persons from the Kalinga royalty should be the kings of Sri Lanka and those of the Govi caste and non-Buddhist princes from Cola or Kerala are not fit to claim legacy to the throne. The people who show allegiance to those who have no right to Royalty will be treated as traitors.
