## Summary

This is damaged in places. It records a gift of 397 1/2 palam of (?) to
the temple of Mahādēva at Tiruppaḻaṉam by Māṟpiḍugu Tirukkōṭṭiyūr-Kaḷvaṉ
Amarkālaṉ (or Mākālaṉ ?) Āṉai-Uḍaiyāṉ. The donor, to judge by his name,
seems to have been a Muttaraiyar chief ruling over a tract of the Ramnad
district. A record of Āditya I.
