## Summary

This inscription is damaged and also built in. It records a gift of 90
sheep for burning a perpetual lamp in the temple at Tiruchchōṟṟuttuṟai,
probably by the donor mentioned in No. 237 above. The early writing and
the virāma mark over the consonants make the inscription assignable to
Āditya I.
