## Summary

This record dated in the 4th year of Jaṭāvarmaṉ Śrīvallabhadēva is much
damaged at the end. Its contents cannot, therefore, be correctly
ascertained. It appears to register a gift made by Veḷḷāṉai-Viṭaṅkaṉ
Avaiyañjāṉ, the chief of Adaḷaiyūr in Kēraḻaśiṅga-vaḷanāḍu, of certain
taxes due from Mēṟkaṇṇamaṅgalam in favour of the temple of
Śrīmūlasthānam-uḍaiya-Nāyaṉār on the hill called Tirumalai in
Adaḷaiyūr-nāḍu.

## Commentary

⟨27⟩ vanta ni [4+]. Damaged after this. The lines after this containing
boundaries of the land are very much damaged as the letters appear to
have been chiselled out. The following can be read: viṭaṅkaṉ
