## Summary

This Tamil record dated in the 4+4th year of Māṟañjaḍaiyaṉ registers a
gift of 138 cows and 100 kāśu by the king for the supply of milk and
ghee and for maintaining two perpetual lamps in the temple of Bhaṭāra of
Tirukkīḻkōṭṭam in Tirukkuḍamūkku, i. e., Kumbakōṇam. The regnal year of
this inscription corresponds apparently to the year 4+1+1+1+1, quoted in
the Āḍuturai record. (No. 7 above.)
