## Summary

This states that Aḍigaḷ Paḻuvēṭṭaraiyar Kaṇḍaṉ Maṟavaṉ of
Mannupperum-Paḻuvūr in Kuṉṟa-kūṟṟam, who founded the temple of
Tiruttōṭṭamuḍaiyār at the village, granted the right of worship in the
temple to Iḷaṅgōdi Sūryaṉ a share-holder in Tiruchchiruvaḷandai on the
suggestion of Kaviśikaṉ Nakkaṉ Māṟaṉ, the supervisor of the temple,
while he was staying at Sēnāpuram in Malāḍu. As this chief also figures
in No. 395 of 1924 in the reign of Uttama-Chōḷa, it is probable that the
Rājakēsarivarman of this record refers to Rājarāja I.
