## Summary

This inscription refers to a remission of taxes made by the assembly of
Tiruttaṇiyal in the 18th year of Vijaya-Aparājitavikramavarman, on 1000
kuḻi of land situated to the north of the temple, purchased by Nambi
Appi from the cultivators of the village and given over to the dharmigaḷ
of the village for providing offerings to and burning two twilight lamps
in the temple of Tiruvīraṭṭānattudēva in the same village. The donor is
evidently identical with the builder of the temple mentioned in the
above inscription.

The dharmigaḷ were perhaps a body that managed the charitable endowments
and trust property in the village.
