## Summary

This inscription is damaged and the portion from the 5th line onwards is
engraved in smaller characters. It seems to record an endowment in land
for feeding two Brahmans, a Brahmaṅ woman and some yōgis in the temple
every day, made by two ladies Nakkaṉ Kavaḍiyakkaṉ and her sister Nakkaṉ
Vichchiyakkaṉ, both daughters of a certain Dēvaṉār of the village. As
both these persons also figure in No. 122 of 1931 of the 23rd year of
Parāntaka I, the present record is attributed to Sundara-Chōḷa in the
M.E.R. for 1931, II. 4. But it may with greater possibility, be assigned
to Parāntaka’s son and nearer successor Gaṇḍarāditya.
