## Summary

This inscription is dated in the 26th year of Tribhuvanachakravartin
Rājarāja-deva. According to the Poygai inscriptions (Nos. 59 to 64) this
year would correspond to Śaka 1163-64. By the subjoined document, some
person pledged himself, to supply daily one āṛākku[1] of ghee for five
lamps (saṁdhi-viḷakku) “to the lord of the holy stone-temple, alias
Rājasiṁhavarmeśvara, at Kachchippeḍu,” i.e., Kāñchīpuram. The ghee had
to be made over daily to those, who were in charge of the nāṛigai
(measure) within the temple.
