Summary: This inscription is dated in the 11th year and records an order of the officer Śōḻakōṉ issued to the authorities of the temple at Chidambaram to engrave on their temple walls a gift of land made, after purchase, by Irāvaḷar Kayilāyadēvar residing in the maṭha called Vaḍakkil-maḍam at Tiruvaṇṇāmalai as ‘Kayilāyadēvaṉ-tiruppāvāḍaippuṟam’ for flowers, and for providing offerings to the god on the asterism Pūśam in the month of Tai. A portion of the land presented was situated in Erukkāṭṭichchēri alias Jayaṅgoṇḍaśōḻanallūr in Kiḍāraṅgoṇḍaśōḻa-pēriḷamaināḍu, the eastern hamlet of Perumbaṟṟapuliyūr and was purchased in the name of Kavuṇiyaṉ Śivaṉ Tiruchchiṟṟambalamuḍaiyāṉ from Mādēvaṉ Śātti, the wife of Uḻaichchāṇaṉ Kūttaṉ Tiruchchiṟṟambalakkūttaṉ.

Language: Tamil (tam).
