## Summary

This consists of a number of fragments which should have originally
formed part of a complete inscription. It seems to record the
re-construction of a temple or shrine under the name Tiruvaiyōtti
(Ayōdhyā) to Rāmadēvapperumāḷ, and consecration of the image of the
deity therein, and an endowment of land for offerings, worship and lamps
to the god and for a flower-garden by the gaṇapperumakkaḷ (of the
village). This is an inscription of Rājarāja I.
