## Summary

This inscription is formed by piecing together the stones found in the
two temples. Portions of the inscription are lost. It seems to record
the gift of some plots of land by the mahāsabhā and the
Pirāṉadhi[kārigaḷ] to a certain (teacher called ?) Pādaśiva for burning
a lamp during the services and for the maintenance of worship and
offerings in a temple (name lost).
