                        <summary>Stone-slab inscription. Mentions the Miṉṉāmaḻai-Īśvara at Koṭumpāḷūr (possibly one of the three <foreign>vimāna</foreign>s of the present-day Mūvarkōyil) and the temple (<foreign>kōyil</foreign>) of Vīra Murukki Nāṅkai (probably Durgā/Koṟṟavai), both apparently objects of an installation by Acīti Paṇṭitar. Mentions a <foreign>kapālam</foreign> in connexion with Aciti Paṇṭitar, thus possibly a skull-bearer ascetic. Records the donation of a pillar (<foreign>tirunilai</foreign>) of the <foreign>maṇḍapa</foreign> built by another Paṇṭitar.</summary>
