## Summary

This states that at the instance of the chief Paḻuvēṭṭaraiyar Maṟavaṉ
Kaṇḍaṉār, the nagarattār of Avanigandharvvapuram had it engraved on
stone that all the taxes (maṉṟupāḍu) in this village might be accepted
on the model of those prevailing at Nandipuram from olden times (See No.
215 below). This is evidently an inscription of Sundara-Chōḷa.
