## Summary

This inscription, which is highly damaged, seems to record a gift made
for providing offerings to the god Tiruvagattīśvara[muḍaiya-Mahādēva],
by the assembly of Poygainallūr in Dāmaṟ-kōṭṭam, in the 2nd year of
Vayiramēgavarman.

The surname Vayiramēgaṉ[1] is applied to Dantivarman in the Triplicane
inscription.[2] As the characters of the present and the following
inscription belong to a later period than Dantivarman, the king figuring
in these two records was probably different. A certain chieftain named
Vayiramēgaṉ alias Vāṇakōvaraiyar figures in two inscriptions from
Tiruvoṟṟiyūr,[3] with whom Vayiramēgavarman of the present record may be
identified.
