## Summary

This record registers a gift of 30 kaḻañju of gold by Śōḻaṉār
Ulagaperumāṉār of Śōḻa-nāḍu for burning a perpetual lamp before the god
Tiruviḷaṅkōyil Perumāṉaḍigaḷ set up in the temple of
Tiruvēṅgaḍattu-Perumāṉaḍigaḷ at Tiruchchōgiṉūr in Kuḍavūr-nāḍu, a
subdivision of Tiruvēṅgaḍa-kōṭṭam, in the 51st year of
Vijaya-Dantivikramavarman.

Ulagaperumāṉār mentioned in the inscription was evidently a Chōḷa chief
ruling Śōḻa-nāḍu under the overlordship of the Pallavas. A different
Chōḷa chief is mentioned in No. 49 below.
