## Summary

This records a gift of 15 kaḻañju of gold by the Kāśeṭṭāṅgal (See No.
211), for burning a lamp in the temple of Tiruchchaṅgōṭṭu-Āḷvār by
Muri-Amudaṉār, the wife of Iḷaṅgōṉaḍigaḷ. The gift was left in charge of
the Paṉṉiraṇḍunāṭṭu-perumakkaḷ (assembly). This donatrix may be
identical with (if not a co-wife of) Kāmakkaṉār mentioned in No. 232
above and in No. 244.
