## Summary

This record of the 2nd year of Śaḍaiya-Māṟaṉ is slightly damaged in the
middle and appears to register a gift of 25 sheep for the maintenance of
a lamp in the temple of Sundarapāṇḍya-Īśvara-Dēvar at Tiruchchuriyal, a
dēvadāna in Paruttikkuḍi-nāḍu, by a carpenter of Kaliśalmaṅgalam, a
brahmadēya in Aḷaṟṟu-nāḍu. Vāṉavaṉmādēvi(maṅgalam) a brahmadēya in
Veṇbu-nāḍu is also mentioned. This record may be assigned to the reign
of Rājasiṁha, who was a contemporary of the Chōḷa king Parāntaka I and
who was defeated by him as stated in the Udayēndiram plates.[1]
