There are no Indo-Arabic numerals in this inscription. The picture resolution is not good enough to read the inscription, but what looks like 1355 could be read as ra - r.a - t.a (t.u) - t.a (t.u) in the Tamil script of circa 10th-11th century CE. A tracing of the inscription would help better. Best regards, Arvind. This inscription perhaps can be dated 10th-11th century CE. There are no Indo-Arabic numerals in this inscription.
