## Summary

This is similar to the above inscription and it is also dated in the
30th year. It registers a gift of 1 vēli of land in Puttēndal-kaḻaṉi
situated in Māmbaṭṭu made in the 3rd year, to the same god and for the
same purpose by Poṉparappiṉa Vāṇakōvaraiyar. Among the Kēḷvi-mudalis,
Śiṅgaḷarāyar, Madhurāntaka-Brahmārāyar and Kurukularāyar, attested the
record. Poṉparappiṉavēḷār, the officer who drafted orders also attested
the document.

The donor mentioned in this inscription was a chief of Āṟagaḷūr, a town
in the present Attur taluk of the Salem district. His ancestors served
the Chōḷa king Kulōttuṅga-Chōḷa III from about A.D. 1182.[1]
Poṉparappiṉāṉ is a family title referring to the gilding of the central
shrine of the Aruṇāchalēśvara temple at Tiruvaṇṇāmalai.

The astronomical details given here are the same as those in the
previous inscription.
