## Summary

This is damaged and incomplete and seems to record an endowment in land
for the maintenance of 12 servants in the temple together with 2
kaṇkāṭṭi (supervisors ?) and 2 gardeners, made by Ulagaperumāḷ (king) at
the request (of the residents of the village or the temple authorities
?). The early script and the high regnal year of Rājakēsarivarman seem
to point to Āditya I as the king intended.
