## Summary

The inscription is damaged. It seems to record a gift of 10 kaḻañju of
gold for a perpetual lamp in the temple of Tiruppondaip-Perumāṉaḍigaḷ at
Rājamallachaturvēdimaṅgalam by Ashṭamūrtti, a resident of the village,
and an endowment in land by his wife (name lost), after purchase, for
the daily feeding of a Brāhmaṇa in the temple. The inscription has been
assigned to Āditya I on account of the high regnal year of the king and
the identity of the donor with the one figuring in No. 224 of 1915 of
the time of Parāntaka I (M.E.R. 1916 II. 9). It is surmised that the
village owed its origin to Rājamalla an early king of the Western Gaṅga
dynasty. (See No. 292 above.)
