## Summary

Both pillars of this aḷavukkal[1] bear fragments of ancient
inscriptions. That on the right pillar belongs to the time of some
Ko-Parakesarivarman. It deserves to be noted that, in line 3, the
syllable ṟā is written ṟā [[றா]], and not ṟā [[prereform ṟā as a single
glyph]] as in modern Tamil.
