Editor: Emmanuel Francis.

Identifier: DHARMA_INSSIIv13p0i0045.

Summary: This records a gift of 90 sheep for a perpetual lamp in the temple of Paramasvāmi of Kīḻkōṭṭam, by Kumaraṉ Tūdu[va]ṉ, a Kaikkōḷa resident of Tañjavūr who was a member of the Vīraśōḻa-teriñja-Kaikkōḷar (community or regiment). They were left in charge of two shepherds who were to supply 7 nāḻi and 1 uri of ghee every month for the purpose. Vīraśōḻa was a surname of king Parāntaka I and the inscription might therefore be referred to Gaṇḍarāditya, his immediate successor.
