## Summary

This inscription in Vaṭṭeḻuttu characters is dated in the 35th year of
the reign of a king whose name is not mentioned; but he may be assumed
to be identical with the Māṟañjaḍaiyaṉ for whom high regnal years have
been found. It records the gift of sheep by a certain Pāradāyaṉ
Śēnda[ṉāgaṉ] of Pāppār-irukkai in Vēḷā-nāḍu for a lamp to be burnt in
the temple of Tiruppōttuḍaiyāḷvār at Iḷaṅgōykkuḍi, a brahmadēya in
Muḷḷi-nāḍu.
