## Summary

In this damaged inscription the regnal year is lost. Some of the
inscribed slabs are also missing. It seems to record the gift of a
garden, free of taxes, in Ākkūr, to the Paḍimattār of the temple of
Mahāśāstaṉ Peruvēmbuḍaiyār by (the authorities) of the temple of
Tiruttōṇipuramuḍaiyār.
