## Summary

This incomplete record, dated in the 9th year, registers a gift of
5(3/4) vēli of land as tirunāmattukkāṇi to the god at Tiruttiṉainagar.
The order making the gift was also directed to be communicated to the
officials of the temple at Perumbaṟṟappuliyūr (i.e., Chidambaram). A
portion of the land endowed was situated in the hamlet of
Poṉmēyndaśōḻach-chaturvēdimaṅgalam, which, as pointed out above, was
called so after the surname of Kulōttuṅga-Chōḷa II.[1]
