## Summary

This records an endowment of land left in charge of the sabhā of the
village Nityavinītamaṅgalam, after making it free of all taxes by
payment of a lump-sum to it, by a certain Brahmādhirāja for burning a
perpetual lamp in the temple of Īśvara-Bhaṭṭāraka at Tiruttavattuṟai in
Iḍaiyāṟu-nāḍu. The early characters of the inscription and the high
regnal year of the king make the record assignable to Āditya I.
