## Summary

This inscription is dated in the 4th year opposite to the 4th year of
the same king’s reign. It registers a gift of sheep by Aruḷāḻi, the
headman of a village in Veṇbu-nāḍu, for burning a lamp in the temple of
god Sundara-Pāṇḍya-Īśvarattu-Dēvar at Tiruchchuḻiyal, for the merit of
his son Kaṇḍaṉ-Dēvaṉ.
