Summary: Like all the other records of this place, this also is stated to be a copy of an old inscription engraved an a loose stone which had become useless, and hence to cancel that record. It registers an endowment of three plots of land after purchase, one for converting it into a flower-garden and the other two for the maintenance of its gardeners, for the benefit of the temple of Tirukkōḍikkā by Perumbiḍigu Viñjavadiyaraiyaṉ alias Nakkaṉ Śeruviḍai of Kīḻandi in Malli-nāḍu. The sabhā of Kaṇṇamaṅgalam which was the other name of Tirukkōḍikkā, agreed to make the lands immune from all taxes.
