## Summary

These two fragments belong to the time of Ko-Rājakesarivarman. The
second is dated in his 3rd year. Each of them records an agreement made
by the inhabitants of some village, who pledged themselves to furnish
daily one uṛakku of oil for a nondā[1] or nandā lamp in exchange for a
loan of 15 kaṛañjus of gold, and is signed by Māṉatoṅgaḷ Maḷḷerumāṉ, a
member of the village-assembly (kūṭṭam).
