## Summary

This is very probably an inscription of Sundara-Chōḷa. It records an
undertaking given by the sabhā and patipādamūlam (temple servants) of
Tiruneyttāṉam, a dēvadāna in Poygai-nāḍu, to burn two perpetual lamps in
the temple for an endowment of 10 śēy of land purchased with 50 kaḻañju
of gold which had been presented by a certain Tennavaṉ Pirudimārāśaṉ
alias Kaṭṭi Oṟṟi-ūraṉ and by Varaguṇa-Perumāṉār, the wife of
Parāntaka-Iḷaṅgōvēḷār. This Iḷaṅgōvēḷār has been identified with
Vikramakēsari, the Koḍumbāḷūr chief and subordinate of Parāntaka II
Sundara-Chōḷa (The Cōḷas., Vol. I., p. 187 and Ep. Ind., Vol. XX., p.
53).
