Summary: This inscription records a gift of 100 kāḍi of paddy by a lady named Pugaḻttuṇai-Aḍigaḷ mother of one Viḻuppēraraiyar Ayyakuṭṭi-Aḍigaḷ, which was left in charge of the body called kulaṅkiḻārkaḷ of Tiruvakkārai. With the annual interest of 25 kāḍi accruing on this endowment, its members were to provide for the sacred bath of the deity Tirukkāṟkaṟṟaḷi-Perumānaḍigaḷ on the days of the asterism Chitrā in Chittirai month and of Śravaṇa (Ōṇam) in Puraṭṭādi every year. The high regnal year of the king with however no qualifying epithet for him would make the inscription assignable to Āditya I, but the characters seem to be later.
