## Summary

This inscription, dated in the 8th year, states that the maṇḍapa [in
front of the central shrine in the Vaikuṇṭha-Perumāḷ temple in the
village] was constructed by Araśāḻvār, the elder sister of Āḷappiṟandār
Aḻagiyaśīyar of Peṟugai, who was probably a member of a collateral
branch of the Peruñjiṅga family with headquarters at Peṟugai.

The village Peṟugai cannot be satisfactorily identified, but it is
probably to be located in Peṟugaṉūr-nāḍu in Tirumuṉaippāḍi.[1] Peṟugaṉūr
is probably the same as Periyaṉūr in the Tirukkoyilur taluk.[2]
