## Summary

This inscription of the 12th year registers the gift of a lamp-stand of
five tiers for burning 10 lamps in the temple of Uḍaiyār
Āḍavalla-Nāyaṉār at Muññūr alias Rājanārāyaṇa-chaturvēdimaṅgalam, by
Ambaruḍaiyāṉ Mādēvaṉ Kulōttuṅgaśōḻa-Mūvēndavēḷān of Ambar in Ambar-nāḍu,
a subdivision of Uyyakkoṇḍār-vaḷanāḍu in Śōḻa-maṇḍalam. The donor also
purchased 750 kuḻi of land and gave it as tiruviḷakkuppaṭṭi to the
Śivabrāhmaṇas of the temple who agreed to maintain the ten lamps from
evening till midnight in the temple.

Before the time of Rājarāja III, the god at Muṉṉūr was known as
Mūlasthānamuḍaiya-Mahādēva (Nos. 65 and 67 of 1919). The village Ambar
may be identified with Ambal in the Nannilam taluk, Tanjore district.
