                            <p>This Vaṭṭeḻuttu record is dated in the <hi rend="bold">2nd year</hi> of the reign of <hi rend="bold">Māṟañjaḍaiyaṉ</hi> and registers a gift of cows made by Śāttanammai, for burning a lamp in the temple of Brahmapurittēvar at Tirunelvēli, on behalf of Śāttan-Dēyam, a <hi rend="italic">dēvaraḍiyāḷ</hi> of Tirunelvēl in Kīḻ-Vēmba-nāḍu. Eṭṭi-Jātavēdaṉ, a <hi rend="italic">veṭṭikkuḍi</hi> agreed to burn the lamp and Māṉanaḍai-Mādēvaṉ, another <hi rend="italic">veṭṭikkuḍi</hi> stood security <hi rend="italic">(puṇai)</hi> for the former.</p>						
                            
                            <p>It is possible that the temple was originally one of Śiva called Brahmapurittēvar. A record of Rājarāja I dated in the 12th year of his reign also refers to the god by this name only (No. 84 of 1927); and it is only in a record of Jaṭāvarman Kulaśēkhara (No. 83 of 1927) that the Narasimha-Perumāḷ is referred to as Vikrama-Pāṇḍyaviṇṇagar-Āḻvār.</p>
