## Summary

The inscription registers a gift of 7(1/2) kaḻañju of gold for a
perpetual lamp in the temple of Tirumūlattānattu-Perumānaḍigaḷ at
Tirunīlakkuṉṟam by Naṅgaiyār-Naṅgai Dayānidiyār, the wife of (the chief)
Perumbiḍugu-Muttaraiyar on behalf (in memory ?) of Naṅgai
Vikkiramakēsariyār, the daughter of Muttaraiyar Nambi Mānatoṅgalār. This
is also evidently a record of Āditya I like No. 287 above.
