## Summary

This is evidently an inscription of Rājarāja I. It states that queen
[Pañcha]vaṉ-Mādēviyār paid a visit to the temple of
Tiruviḍaimaruduḍaiyār to offer worship to the deity, when she was waited
upon by Śiṟṟāyiluḍaiyāṉ the temple manager, the dēvakarmis, the sabhā
and the nagaram (merchant guild ?) of Tiruviḍaimarudil. She is also said
to have visited the big flower-garden (presented to the temple by ?)
Śembiyaṉ-Mādēvi, and this occasion seems to have been marked by some
gift of land for the upkeep of the gardener. At this portion the record
is damaged.
