Summary: A gift of 44 cows is recorded in this inscription, dated in the 1[1]th year, by Chandira-Śeṭṭi, a resident of Maṇḍa[ga]ttali in Nellūr-nāḍu for providing 1 uḻakku of ghee daily, measured by the standard measure [Aru]moḻinaṅgai-nāḻi, for burning a perpetual lamp to god Aruḷāḷap-Perumāḷ. The date of the record corresponds to A.D. 1253, May 16, Friday. The week day cited in the inscription is probably a mistake for Friday.
