## Summary

This inscription, dated in the [2]4th year, records a gift of 2,000 kuḻi
of land by the tāṉattār of the temple of Opporuvarumillāda-Nāyaṉār at
Tiruvaṟaiyaṇinallūr in Uḍaikkāḍu-nāḍu ‘on the north bank of the river
Peṇṇai’, to Nāgattambaiyaṉ Eḍuttapādampaḍiyāṉ a Vāṇiga of Tirukkōvallūr,
for repairing, at their request, the bund of the local tank which had
been in ruins for a long time. The record also points out that the lands
belonging to the temple had to remain uncultivated owing to breaches in
the tank.
