## Summary

This epigraph dated in the 12th year of Sundara-Chōḷapāṇḍya registers an
agreement given by aganāḻigai-śivabrāhmaṇas of the temples
Chōḷēndrasiṁha-Īśvaram and Śrī-Kayilāyamuḍaiyār-Śrīkōyil to burn a lamp
in the latter temple in return for the interest on an amount of 36 kāśu,
which was required to be contributed by them towards the construction of
the tiruchchuṟṟumāḍam in the temple, and which was paid on their behalf
in a lump sum by a certain Śrīkaṇṭha-Dāmōdarabhaṭṭaṉ of Perumaru[dūr]
residing in this village.
