## Summary

A grant of 475 kuḻi of garden land is recorded in this inscription,
dated in the 3rd year, by Tiruchchiṟṟambalamuḍaiyāṉ
Sundarapāṇḍya-Brahmārāyaṉ of Śōḻakulāntaka-chaturvēdimaṅgalam, a
brahmadēya in Pāgaṉūr-kūṟṟam, a subdivision of Pāṇḍimaṇḍalam, for
offerings to the god Vaikuṇṭhatt-Emberumāṉ at Tiruveṇṇainallūr, a
brahmadēya in Tirumuṉaippāḍi Tiruveṇṇainallūr-nāḍu in Rājarāja-vaḷanāḍu,
on the 7th day of the festival in the months of Āṉi (May-June) and
Puraṭṭādi (August-September).

The village Śōḻakulāntaka-chaturvēdimaṅgalam is evidently called so
after the surname Śōḻāntaka[1] or Śōḻakulāntaka of the early Pāṇḍya king
Vīra-Pāṇḍya or Jaṭāvarman Śrīvallabha (Ep. Rep. for 1910, para. 31).
This village may be identified with Teṉkarai in the Nilakkottai taluk of
the Madura district.

The inscription mentions also a grain measure called
Adigaināyakaṉ-marakkāl, probably named after the deity at Tiruvadigai.

The astronomical details cited in the record are not regular.
