This record of Māṟañjaḍaiyaṉ alias Pāṇḍyakulapati Varaguṇa Mahārāja registers the gift of 120 kāśu by the king for burning a perpetual lamp in the temple of Mahādēva at Tiruttavattuṟai in uḍaiyāṟṟu-nāḍu. The king is stated to have transmitted the gift through a certain Aṇḍanāṭṭu-Vēḷāṉ and the money was received by the assembly of Iḷamperuṅkāyirukkai in Iḍaiyāṟṟu-nāḍu who agreed to supply one nāḻi of ghee for burning the lamp.

The inscription is dated in the year 4+9 of the king's reign and the details of date, viz., Dhanus, Śadaiyam (Śatabhishaj), and Tuesday have been equated with 824 A.D. November 29, and the king is identified with Varaguṇa I.[See Ep. Ind., Vol. XXVIII, p. 39 where the king is identified with Varaguṇa II and the details are equated with 875 A.D. December 6—Ed.].
