## Summary

This record, dated in the 2+9th year of Śaḍaiya-Māṟaṉ, registers a gift
of 3 buffaloes by Ayyaṅkūttaṉ, a merchant of Iḍavai in Maṇṇi-nāḍu, for
maintaining half a lamp in the temple of Mahādēva at Tirukkuṟṟālam in
Teṉvāra-nāḍu. This Iḍavai is identical with Iḍavai in Śōḻa-nāḍu, in a
campaign against which a Pāṇḍya general had accompanied king
Māṟañjaḍaiyaṉ of No. 26 above.
