## Summary

The date of this inscription has been read in the M.E.R. for 1906 as
3[0]. The letters look more like 3⁓ṉṟuvatu than 3 10⁓Āvatu and this
seems to be the correct reading, since we have not come across a date
later than the 27th year for any king bearing the mere name
Rājakēsarivarman.

This records an endowment of 70 kaḻañju of gold left in charge of the
Mūlaparishad of Tiruveḷḷaṟai by Śāttuvāy Kāñjaṉ Dāmōdiraṉ, a resident of
the village, for feeding a Brāhmaṇa versed in the Vēdas, every noon
after offering in the temple of Tiruvāṉaikkal-Perumānaḍigaḷ.
