## Summary

This is stated to be a copy of an old inscription. It records an
agreement by the sabhā of Tirukkōḍikā alias Kaṇṇamaṅgalam in
Nallāṟṟūr-nāḍu on the northern bank (of the river), to make immune from
all taxes, a piece of land sold by them to a resident of the village by
name Āttiraiyaṉ Kiḻavaṉ Kōḍikāvaṉ who endowed it to the temple of
Mahādēva as meḻukkuppuṟam, i.e., for the maintenance of a servant for
cleaning the premises.
