## Summary

This inscription refers to the provision made for a lamp in the 20th
year of the chief. It records the agreement made by the trustees of the
temple of Aruḷāḷap-Perumāḷ to burn a perpetual lamp before the god for
15 Nellūr-māḍai received by them from Śevvakkaṉ, sister-in-law of
Aṉṉaladēvaṉ of Nellūr.

This record gives 15 Nellūr-māḍai as equivalent to 331
Perumāḷ-rāśi[paṇam].
