## Summary

This is incomplete and damaged. It seems to register the exemption
granted by the mahāsabhā of Madanamañjari-chaturvēdimaṅgalam a
brahmadēya of Neṉmalināḍu to the temple of Tiruvirāmīśvarattu-Mahādēva
at the village, from the payment of taxes on one (vēli) and a half of
land endowed after purchase by Tirumañjaṇappichchar, a servant (karmi)
of the temple, in consideration of a lumpsum received by them from the
donor.
