## Summary

This inscription, also dated in the 20th year, registers a gift of 4
cows each by three persons, viz., Kuravaśēri Īśvara-Bhaṭṭaṉ, a resident
of the agrahāra Śevalai, Varadarāja-Bhaṭṭaṉ of Perumpāṇḍūr and
Mūvāyirakkōṉ Maḍiyaṉ, a shepherd attached to the temple, for burning on
the whole three twilight lamps in the temple of Vaikuṇṭhatt-Emberumāṉ at
Tiruveṇṇainallūr. The cows were left in charge of shepherds who had to
supply monthly 1 nāḻi of ghee for each lamp, as measured by the standard
measure Arumoḻidēvaṉ-nāḻi.
