## Summary

This inscription is engraved in archaic characters and has been assigned
therefore to Āditya I. It records the provision made by the
Perunagarattār (merchant community) of Kumaramāttāṇḍapuram in
Tiraimūr-nāḍu for the renovation of the surrounding hall
(tiruchchuṟṟālai) and the gōpura in a (Jaina) temple called the
Milāḍuḍaiyār-paḷḷi. Kumaramārttāṇḍa seems to have been a surname of the
Pallava king Nandivarman III (No. 199 of 1907).
