## Summary

The inscription is damaged. It registers a gift of land made tax-free
after purchase, by Siddhavaḍavaṉ Śūṭṭiyār, a queen of Uttama-Chōḷa and
daughter of a Milāḍu chief (name not given), to provide for 108 pots of
water for the sacred bath on the day of saṅkrānti every month, of the
god (Paramasvāmi) at Tiruviśalūr in Amaṉinārāyaṇa-chaturvēdimaṅgalam on
the northern bank (of the Kāvēri). This is evidently a record of
Rājarāja I.
