## Summary

This slightly damaged record is dated in the 15th year of Jaṭāvarmaṉ
Sundara-Chōḷapāṇḍya and relates to the gift of land made for the merit
of the merchant community called nāṉā-dēśi-diśai-āyirattu-aiññūṟṟuvar,
apparently of Pāṇḍi-maṇḍalam who were residing in the quarter called
Rājēndraśōḻapperunderuvu probably at Rājarāja-chaturvēdimaṅgalam. This
merchant-guild figures in a number of other records in the Tirunelveli
district. The donor appears to be a member of this community named
Śōlai-Aiññūṟṟuvaṉ.
