## Summary

This records a gift of 300 and odd sheep for the maintenance of 3(1/2)
perpetual lamps in the temple of Perumāṉaḍigaḷ at Tiruviśalūr in
Avaninārāyaṇa-chaturvēdimaṅgalam by Pūrvadēviyār, the mother of
Mādēvaḍigaḷ (king ?). Pūrvadēviyār seems to connote merely ‘the elder
queen or the queen-mother.’ The palaeography of the record and the high
regnal year of the king make it assignable to Parāntaka II
Sundara-Chōḷa.
