## Summary

This inscription of Māṟanjaḍaiyaṉ of the year opposite to the year which
was itself opposite to the fourth year of the king comes from Āḍuturai.
From a record of the Chōḻa king Uttama-Chōḻa it is learnt that this
temple was rebuilt during his reign by his pious mother
Sembiyaṉ-Mahādēviyār, and so the characters in which this record is
engraved are later that the time of Varaguṇa to whom this and the next
record can be attributed. This epigraph registers some provision made
for the supply of one uri of oil daily to the temple of Mahādēva at
Tirukkuraṅgāduturā in Tiraimūr-nāḍu. Kuraṅgāḍutuṟai has been curtailed
into the modern name of Āḍutuṟai.
