## Summary

This record is dated in the 18th year of Vijaya-Nṛipatuṅgavarman. It
states that the assembly of Maṇali near Tiruvoṟṟiyūr agreed to provide
offerings on the day of saṅkrānti every month to the god Mahādēva of
Tiruvoṟṟiyūr for the interest on 5 kaḻañju of gold received by them from
Paḻiyan Pilli, wife of Viḍēlviḍugu-Pallavaraiyar who was probably a
local chief in charge of Umbaḷa-nāḍu (see plate VI).
