## Summary

This records a gift of 90 sheep for a lamp in the temple of
Tiruttāṭakai-Īśvaragarattu-Mādēva-Bhaṭārar at Tirupparandāḻ, a dēvadāna
in Maṇṇi-nāḍu on the north bank (of the Kāvērī) by Kōvaṉ Amudaṉ of
Karuppūr in the same nāḍu.

The fragment below this inscription is evidently of the same period and
provides (for paddy) for offerings to the god and the goddess during two
services in the temple with the income from some garden lands.
