## Summary

This is a bilingual record in Sanskrit (portions damaged) and Tamil, and
registers an endowment of 20 Karuṅkāśu made to the temple by Bāradāyaṉ
Śēnda-Nakkapirāṉbaṭṭa-Sarvakratuyājiyār of Kūṟṟamaṅgalam (the same as
the donor of No. 169 above of the 7th year of Rājakēsarivarman), with
the proviso that the annual interest of 3 kāśu accruing therefrom was to
be given as prize among the competitors, excluding those who were
successful in previous years, to the best reciter of prescribed portions
of Jaiminīya-Sāmavēda before the god on the night of Tiruvādirai in
Mārgaḻi month. The record might be one of Sundara-Chōḷa Parāntaka II.
