## 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.
