## Summary

This inscription of Jaṭāvarmaṉ Sundara-Chōḷapāṇḍya is dated in the 21st
year of his rule. It is incomplete, but from the available portion it
appears to refer to some gift made for the maintenance of a perpetual
lamp in the temple of Narasimha, by the wife of Śēndaṉ-Bhaṭṭaṉ of
Iṟaiyāṉaraiśūr, which is a place in the Tirukkoyilur taluk of the South
Arcot District. Āṉaimalai is said to be situated in Kiḻiraṇiyamuṭṭam in
Rājēndraśōḻa-vaḷanāḍu, a district of Rājarāja-Pāṇḍināḍu.
