## Summary

The inscription is slightly damaged. It registers the gift of two
forehead plates to the deity out of about 14 kaḻañju of gold collected
as fine from 3 members of the nagarattār community of the village by
Ayaṉ Kāmakkōḍaṉār while he was the investigating officer of the affairs
of the temple (śrīkāryam) at Tirune[y*]ttāṉam. The name of one of the
nagarattār is given as Ariñjigai Neyttāṉaṉ. This is possibly a record of
the reign of Sundara-Chōḷa.
