## Summary

This inscription which belongs to the 14th regnal year of
Sundara-Chōḷapāṇḍya without any distinguishing epithet registers a gift
of a lamp-stand and of cows for maintaining half a lamp in the temple of
Rājēndraśōḻa-viṇṇagar-Āḻvār, by a servant, (name lost) of
Śēralaṉmādēviyār[1], queen of the Chēra king ChēramāṉAr RAśiggadēvar. As
the Chēra king Rājasiṁha was a contemporary of the first viceroy
Jaṭāvarman Sundara-Chōḷapāṇḍya (Ep. Ind., Vol. XI, pp. 294) this record
must be attributed to him.

[1] In the A. R. E. for 1916, p. 26, the gift of a lamp is attributed to
the Chēra queen herself, but as the lines are built in at the right end
of the inscription, the name of some individual probably a servant of
the queen, who was the donor, is missing.
