## Summary

This records an endowment of 3 1/2 mā of land after purchasing it
tax-free from the assembly (peruṅguṟi-sabhai) of
Māṟpiḍugu-chaturvēdimaṅgalam by Nakkaṉ Śiṅgaṉ the headman of Puriśai in
Parivaṇḍattuṟai, the eastern division of Ārkāṭṭukūṟṟam, for burning a
perpetual lamp in the temple of Maḻapāḍi-Mahādēva. The high regnal year
of the king suggests that the inscription might be one of Āditya I.
