## Summary

This inscription dated in the 21st year of Jaṭāvarmaṉ
Sundara-Chōḷapāṇḍya is damaged at the end. It registers some gift made
by Lōkāditta-kkūttaṉ of the Bhāradvāja-gōtra, a resident of
Āṟṟūr-Śēndamaṅgalam for burning a lamp in the temple of Sōmanāthēśvara
alias Teṉ-Tiruppūvaṇamuḍaiyār at Āṟṟūr-Śēndamaṅgalam, a brahmadēya in
Kuḍa-nāḍu, a subdivision of Uttamaśōḻa-vaḷanāḍu. Teṉ-Tiruppūvaṇam must
have been so named after the god of the same name in the Ramanathapuram
district.
