## Summary

This records a gift of 90 sheep entrusted to two local residents, for
burning a perpetual lamp in the temple of Bhaṭṭāla(ra)ka at
Tiruppuṟambiyam, by a shepherd of Kuvāṟu named Nāṭṭuviṭaṅka-Perumaṉṟāḍi.
Twelve of these having died, the deficiency is said to have been made up
by a certain Maḻavaḍi Kaṇṇaṉ.
