## Summary

This records a gift of 96 sheep for the daily supply of an uḻakku of
ghee for burning a lamp in the same temple, by a certain Vaḷavakōṉ
Pēraraiyar. The sabhā of the village undertook the maintenance of the
lamp. This inscription should also be assigned to Āditya I on account of
the early script employed in it and the puḷḷi over consonants.
Tiruneyttāṉam is referred to as a dēvadāna in Poygai-nāḍu.
