## Summary

This Vaṭṭeluttu inscription was found engraved on two slabs in the
compound of the Madanagōpāla temple at Madurai. They apparently belonged
to a temple of Śiva named Tirutturutti-Bhaṭāra from where they appear to
have been brought to this temple. It is dated in the 2+1st year of
Śaḍaiya-Māṟaṉ and probably belongs to the time of Rājasiṁha. It
registers the usual gift of sheep for a lamp to be maintained in that
temple.
