## Summary

This is much damaged. It seems to register an endowment providing for
the maintenance of a perpetual lamp and for the sacred bath of the deity
in the temple, and for special offerings on the day of Śadayam. The
alphabet of the record is early, and hence the inscription may be
assigned to the reign of Āditya I.
