## Summary

The inscription is damaged. It seems to record an endowment of 18 1/2
kaḻāñju of gold by the standard weight called Pāchchiṟkal left by
Nīliyār a lady resident of Toṭṭiyam, in charge of the assembly of the
village, who set apart some land in return as archanā-bhōga out of which
the daily offerings to the god were to be provided for. The assembly is
said to have consisted of 48 members.
