## Summary

These two disjointed fragments appear to belong to Jaṭāvarman
Sundara-Chōḷapāṇḍya and refer to separate gifts of money and land made
by a few persons for burning a lamp in the temple of Kayilāsamuḍaiyār
(?).

The year 10 is mentioned in fragment 1 while fragment 2 refers to year
8(?), Nambirāṭṭiyār and to the ōṇam festival.
