## Summary

In this inscription, dated in the 8th year, Kōpperuñjiñgadēva is given
the surname Aḻagiyaśīyaṉ. It records a gift of 5 cows by
Tirumalaiy-Aḻagiyāṉ alias Vīra[gaḷ*] vīrap-Pallavaraiyaṉ,[1] a
Kaikkōḷa-mudali of Tiruveṇṇainallūr for supplying daily milk by the
measure ‘Arumoḻidēva-nāḻi’ to the god Vaikunda (Vaikuṇṭha)[p-Perumāḷ].
This donor figures in A.D. 1237[2] and his death is referred to in No.
189 below. From the title Aḻagiyaśīyaṉ given to the chief, he may be
identified with the elder Kōpperuñjiṅga.
