## Summary

This inscription is incised in early script with the virāma marked over
final consonants in a few cases, and is probably a record of Āditya I.
The ends of lines are built in. It records a gift of sheep for a lamp in
the temple of Tiruchchōṟṟuttuṟai-Mahādēva by a native of Ārkāṭṭu-kūṟṟam.
