Summary: This is a bilingual record in Sanskrit and Tamil, of which the first portion is in Grantha. It records a gift of six mā of land for burning two perpetual lamps in the temple of Tiruchchēlūr-Mādēva at Rājakēsari-chaturvēdimaṅgalam, a brahmadēya on the southern bank, by Śēndaṉ Nakkaṉ of Kūṟṟamaṅgalam, a resident of the quarter of the village known as Naratoṅgachchēri evidently after the surname of of a king. This might possibly be a record of Sundara-Chōḷa’s reign.

Languages: Sanskrit (san), Tamil (tam).

Version: (3992bd7), last modified (0ec4724).
