## Summary

This is an unfinished inscription in which two persons are mentioned
evidently as donors to the temple of Mahādēva at Tiruneyttānam, a
dēvadāna of Kīḻpilāṟu in Poygai-nāḍu. One of them, Kūttan Nikaḷaṅkaṉ, is
said to have belonged to the regiment called
Samarakēsarit-teriñja-Kaikkōḷar and the other, Villi Tāda . . to
Vikramasiṅgat-teriñja-Kaikkōḷar. These regiments might have derived
their names from possible titles of Parāntaka I, and hence the record
might be assigned to Gaṇḍarāditya.
