This record of the 2+6th year of the reign of Śaḍaiya-Māṟaṉ registers a gift of 50 sheep by Vēḷāṉ-araiyaṉ of the village for burning a lamp to god Tirumēṟṟaḷi-Bhaṭāra at Peruntēṉūr in Pāgaṉūr-kūṟṟam. The pillar must have belonged to the temple, ruins of which are found in the site. Though Tirumēṟṟaḷi may signify a temple of Vishṇu, for Vishṇu temples are generally located in the west of the village and are called as such, a neglected liṅga found in the locality indicates that the original temple may have belonged to god Śiva. In some places Śiva temples have also been called ‘Tirumēṟṟaḷi.’
