Summary: This Vaṭṭeḻuttu record of Māṟavarmaṉ Vikrama-Chōḷapāṇḍvadēva is dated in his twentieth year and registers a gift of 25 sheep by a certain person whose name is obliterated, for burning a lamp in the temple at Ādaṉūr in Śūraṅguḍi-nāḍu, a subdivision of Muḍigoṇḍaśōḻa-vaḷanāḍu. The gift was left under the guardianship of Dēyavīra, i. e., Dēyavīras, who were evidently a battalion of soldiers stationed in the locality. As records earlier than this date are not found for this viceroy, it is possible that he was a co-regent of his predecessor for nearly 20 years and that he actually governed the Pāṇḍya viceroyalty in his own name for only five years till his 25th year.
