## Summary

This inscription is written on two stones, which fit to each other. It
seems to have been dated in the fifth year of the reign of
[Rāja]nārāyaṇa Śambuvarāyar[1] and to have recorded a grant to the
temple of Perumāḷ (i.e., Vishṇu) and of Nilamaṅgai-nāchchiyār (i.e., the
goddess of the earth) at Māmal[lapuram].
