## Summary

This inscription is dated in the 3rd year of Vijaya-Nandivikramavarman
who may be identified with Nandivarman III. It states that a resident of
the village Tigaittiṟal built the temple of Tigaittiṟal-Vishṇugṛiha at
Kiḷiñelūr in Ōymā-nāḍu and gave 300 sheep for maintaining a sacred lamp
and 2 pieces of land (śeṟu) made tax-free, for providing offerings to
the god. In later inscriptions the god is called Vīṟṟirunda-Perumāḷ
(A.R. Nos. 163 and 168 of 1919).
