## Summary

This inscription records an endowment of some lands made by Bālāśiriyaṉ
Bhaṭṭaṉ Śivaṉ Kūttaṉ of Ādanūr, to the temple of Tiruppāṟṟurai-Mahādēva
at Uttamaśīli-chaturvēdimaṅgalam, to provide for the maintenance of some
servants in the temple, for burning a perpetual lamp before the deity
and for the midday offerings. The taxes on these lands were to be paid
by the Big Assembly of the village in return for a lump-sum deposit of
50 Īḻakkāśu made with them by the donor. The details of the date given,
viz., Mithuna, Tuesday, Chittirai, seem to correspond to A.D. 961, May
28, though they are not enough for verification of its correctness. The
inscription may be one of Sundara-Chōḷa.
