Editor: Emmanuel Francis.

Identifier: DHARMA_INSSIIv14p1i0173.

Summary: This record is dated in the [22]nd year of a certain Jaṭāvarmaṉ Śrī-Chōḷapāṇḍya and registers some gift, the details of which are lost, by a certain brāhmana lady of Śōḻapāṇḍya-chaturvēdimaṅgalam, a brahmadēya in Karunilakkuḍi-nāḍu, for maintaining a nilai-viḷakku in the temple of god Tirumāliruñjōlai-niṉṟaruḷiya-Paramasvāmin in Kīliraṇiyamuttam in Rājēndraśōḻa-vaḷanāḍu, a division of Rājarāja-Pāṇḍināḍu. He may perhaps be identified with Jatāvarmaṉ Sundara-Chōḻapāṇḍya for whom records of the 22nd year are known.
