## Summary

This inscription of the 5th year records the gift of 33 cattle including
cows, calves and a bull by Nīlagaṅgaṉ Ammūrikundaṉ Śōḻaṅgadēvaṉ of Āmūr
for burning a perpetual lamp in the temple of Brahmīśvaramuḍaiya-Nāyaṉār
at Rājarājachaturvēdimaṅgalam, an independent brahmadēya village in
Paṉaiyūr-nāḍu, a subdivision of Rājarāja-vaḷanāḍu. It will be evident
from this record that Brahmadēśam was surnamed
Rājarāja-chaturvēdimaṅgalam.
