## Summary

An endowment of gold for a perpetual lamp in the temple by a lady named
Koṟṟi in the name of her husband Kaṇḍiyūr Śaṅkaranārāyaṇa-Bhaṭṭa of
Bhuvanachūḷāmaṇichchēri (quarter) of the village, who is called
Viḍyāsāgara-pāraga and Guṇanidhi in the Sanskrit portion. The
maṉṟāḍikkalaṉai including the vāriyaṉ agreed to the daily supply of ghee
for the purpose. The name of the quarter suggests that it was called
after the biruda of a king, possibly Parāntaka I.
