Summary: This record, dated in the 12th year, states that Tiruvaṇṇāmalai-uḍaiyāṉ, son of Kaviṉi Śambhu-Bhaṭṭa, a member of the assembly of the village, had endowed 32 cows in the 21st year of Rājarājadēva for the maintenance of a perpetual lamp in the temple of Āṭkoṇḍadēva and that the Śivabrāhmaṇas of the temple now agreed to continue the charity. The interval between the 21st year of Rājarāja III (A.D. 1237) and the present record (A.D. 1255) is nearly 18 years. It is not stated why the engraving of this inscription was delayed for such a long time.
