## Summary

This is a fragmentary inscription of Aparā[jitavarman] dated in his 3rd
year. It seems to register a remission of taxes by the assembly of
Nallil[maṅgalam], which is also mentioned in a record of
[Rāja]kēsarivarman from the same village (No. 61 of 1923).
Nallilmaṅgalam is probably identical with the modern Puduppākkam itself.

## Commentary

The inscription is a fragment; the portion containing a few letters at
the beginnings of lines appears to have been cut away.
