## Summary

This inscription belongs to the 21st year of Tribhuvanachakravartin
Śrīvallabhadēva, and registers a gift of 50 sheep by Rājēndraśōḻaṉ
Kēraḷaṉ alias [Nishadha]rājaṉ for burning a lamp in the temple of
Śritaḷi-Paramēśvara at Tirupputtūr. Nishadharājaṉ is evidently identical
with Nishadarājaṉ, who has figured in another record (A.R. No. 42 of
1929) of this king and in another of Kulōttuṅga-chōḷa I (A.R. No. 94 of
1908), after whose name he had apparently copied his surname
Rājēndraśōḻaṉ.
