## Summary

This inscription, also of the 27th year, records the gift of a pair of
silver trumpets called ‘Pichchaṉeṉṟu-pāḍachchoṉṉāṉ’ weighing 55 kaḻañju
and a gold anklet weighing 2 kaḻañju to the god Āṭkoṇḍadēva at
Tiruveṇṇainallūr by the Madhyastha Udaiyaṉ Śrī-Kayilāyamuḍaiyāṉ of
Śeñji.

The astronomical details given are regular for A.D. 1268, March 28,
Wednesday; but this date falls in the 25th year of the chief. In the
27th year i.e., A.D. 1270, the nearest equivalant is April 6, but the
week-day is Sunday, not Wednesday as cited in the record.

The name ‘Pichchaṉeṉṟu-pāḍachchoṉṉāṉ’ has reference to the god at this
place and to the tradition that saint Sundara was directed by the god to
address him as ‘Pittaṉ i.e., Pichchaṉ.’
