Summary: This record is dated in the 12th year of the king and refers to a gift of sheep for burning a lamp in the temple, whose name is given, namely, Manōmayaṉīśvaram at Vijayanārāyaṇa-chaturvēdimaṅgalam. It is not known whose title ‘Maṉōmayaṉ was; but it already occurs in the time of Śaḍiaya-Māṟaṉ. It may be remarked that the regnal year which had been cited as some year opposite to the 4th up till the 11th year is now quoted as only one year, as the 12th in this record. This practice was in vogue up till the 15th year, when with that year as constant, the further years are quoted as 15+4 and 15+5. No. 91 below however cites the year 13+1. The significance of this is not clear.
