## Summary

This record, dated in the 19th year, registers a gift of 32 cows by
Avaṉiāḷappiṟandāṉ Vāḷvallaperumāḷ Kōpperuñjiṅga for burning a twilight
lamp in the temple of the god Opporuvarumillāda-Nāyaṉār at
Tiru-Aṟaiyaṇinallūr in Uḍaikkāḍu ‘on the northern bank of the river
Peṇṇai’ in Vāṇagōppāḍi. The title ‘Vāḷvallaperumāḷ’ or its Sanskrit
variant viz., Khaḍgamalla is found in the records at Tiruvaṇṇāmalai
(S.I.I. Vol. VIII, No. 69), Āttūr (No. 120 above), Tiruvakkarai (No. 246
below), Tripurāntakam (No. 247 below) and Tirupati (No. 73 of 1889).

The astronomical details given here are the same as in No. 213 above and
point to A.D. 1261, November 28, Monday as the date of these two
inscriptions.
