## Summary

This inscription records a gift of 100 sheep for a perpetual lamp in the
temple of Tiruneyttānattu-Mādēva by Kaḍambamādēvi, the wife of
Vikki-Aṇṇaṉ who is stated to have received several honours and the
hereditary title ‘Śembiyaṉ-Tamiḻavēḷ’ both from the Chōḷa king ‘who
overran the Toṇḍai-nāḍu and was the conqueror of kings with many
elephants’ and from the Chēra king Sthāṇu-Ravi. This Chōḷa king has been
identified with Āditya I who is known from the Tiruvālaṅgāḍu Plates to
have conquered Toṇḍaimaṇḍalam from the Pallava king Aparājita.
