## Summary

This records an endowment of 96 sheep for a perpetual lamp in the temple
of Śrī Kailāyāttu-Paramasvāmi at Ulōgamādēvipuram, a taṉiyūr in
Ōymā-nāḍu, by Ambalavaṉ Gaṇḍarādittanār, a noble-man of the king, who is
stated to have also built the temple with stone. The name of the village
was evidently derived from Lōkamahādēvi, a queen of Rājarāja I.
