## Summary

The inscription is dated in the 36th year of Parakēsarivarman and is
much damaged. It is written in the Vaṭṭeḻuttu alphabet and registers a
gift of a lamp to the temple of Tirunaḍuvūr [in] Arukēsarinallūr (which
was the ancient name of Śiṉṉamaṉūr), a brahmadēya in Aḻa-nāḍu. The high
regnal year points to the king being identical with Parāntaka I. If this
is the case, an inscription of Parāntaka I. so far to the south of
Madura deserves to be noted.
