## Summary

This registers an endowment of land tax-free for the midday offerings to
the deity in the temple of Uñchīśvarattāḷvār at Neḍuṅguṉṟam in
Neḍuṅguṉṟanāḍu, a subdivision of Śembor-kōṭṭam, after purchasing it from
the Ūrār (assembly) of the village by Viḍaṅgaṉ, the commander of the
regiment called the Aṇukkabhīmarpaḍai. On account of the paleography of
the inscription it has been assigned to the reign of Rājarāja I (M.E.R.
1933. II 22).
