Summary: This records an agreement given by seven temple servants (taḷippaṭṭuḍaiyār) to burn a perpetual lamp in the shrine on the north side of the temple of Mahādēva of Avanigandharvva-Īśvara-gṛiham, a dēvadāna in Kuṉṟak-kūṟṟam with the interest on ten kaḻañju of gold now received by them from the two (classes of) nagarattār with whom the amount had been originally deposited by the donor, Vīraśōḻa Aṇukkaṉ Śiṟiyappi Maḻapāḍi of Avanigandarvvapuram in the 1[6]th year of Parakēsarivarman Uttama-Chōḷa in the regime of Aḍigaḷ Paḻuvēṭṭaraiyar Kaṇḍaṉ Maṟavaṉār. At the time of the transfer of this amount the administration of the temple is said to have been vested with one Kauśikaṉ Nakkaṉ Māṟapirāṉ. The inscription may be assigned to Rājarāja I.
