## Summary

This is also a record of the 19th year and it registers a gift of 96
sheep and a ram by Aruṇagirip-perumāḷ, one of the sons of Piḷḷaiyār
Pañchanadivāṇa Nīlagaṅgaraiyar,[1] for supplying daily, by the measure
Ariyeṉṉavallānāḻi, one nāḻi of curds, and one uḻakku of ghee for burning
a perpetual lamp in the temple of Aruḷāḷap-Perumāḷ, ‘who was pleased to
stand’ at Tiruvattiyūr in Kāñchīpuram.

The donor Aruṇagiripperumāḷ also figures in the regime of
Vijaya-Gaṇḍagōpāla[2] and Jaṭāvarman Sundara-Pāṇḍya.[3]

The astronomical citations are correct for A.D. 1261, September 1,
Thursday.
