## 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.
