## Summary

This record states that, in the 24th year of
Vijaya-Nṛipatuṅgavikramavarman, the assembly of Śīyapuram in
Ūṟṟukkāṭṭuk-kōṭṭam agreed to maintain a perpetual lamp in the temple of
Vishṇu-Bhaṭāra at Tirumukkūḍal for the interest on 30 kaḻañju of gold
received by them from Arigaṇḍa-Perumāṉār,[1] son of
Kāḍupaṭṭi-Muttaraiyar. The interest on 30 kaḻañju came to 4(1/2)
kaḻañju, calculating at the rate of 3 mañjāḍi per kaḻañju. For this
4(1/2) kaḻañju the assembly of Śīyapuram agreed to supply oil at a
uniform rate of 40 nāḻi per kaḻañju for maintaining the lamp.
Paḻaiyaśivaram near Tirumukkūḍal is called Śīyapuram in inscriptions.
