## Summary

Dated in the 25th year of the king, this inscription registers a gift of
land by the chieftain Rājēndraśōḻan Kēraḷaṉ alias Dēvar Nishadarājaṉ
alias Ālālasundarapperumāḷ for the expenses of the temple of
Tiruttāndōnṟīśvaram-Uḍaiyār. At the end of the record the donor’s name
is also specified as Tappilāvāchakaṉ. In a record of Parākrama-Pāndya
(A.R. No. 94 of 1908) dated in his 11th year, this chieftain is
mentioned as Rājēndraśōḻaṉ Kēraḷaṉ alias Nishadarājaṉ of Poṉṉamarāpati
in Puṟamalai-nāḍu Parākrama should have preceded Śrīvallabha or should
have been a near contemporary (No. 252 above).
