## Summary

This inscription is dated in the 5th year of Aparājitavarman. It
registers a gift of 100 sheep for burning a perpetual lamp in the temple
of Mādēva (i. e., Mahādēva) at Tirumataṅgaṉpaḷḷi by Pōṟṟinaṅgai, wife of
Kumārandai Kuṟumbarādittan alias Kāḍupaṭṭippēraraiyaṉ mentioned in No.
86 above. The liquid measure Viḍēlviḍugu mentioned in the inscription
was probably named after the surname either of Nandivarman III or
Nṛipatuṅgavarman.[1]
