## Summary

On the west wall of the maṇḍapa in front of the central shrine in
Chandra mauḷīśvara temple.

Māṟavarmaṉ Vikramapāṇḍya III. Year 6: 1288-89A.D.

This inscription commences with the praśasti Samasta bhuvanēkavīra,
etc., of the king and is dated on the 273rd day of the 6th year.

It records a tax-free gift of land by the king to god Āḷuḍaiya Nāyaṉār
at Tiruvakkarai, a taṉiyūr of Māttūr-nāḍu in Jayaṅgoṇḍaśōḻa-maṇḍalam,
for a special daily service called Vikrama-Pāṇḍiyaṉ sandhi and an annual
festival to be cailed Vikramapāṇḍiyaṉ tirunāḷ, both named after himself.

After the signatures of Guṇamaṅgalam-uḍaiyāṉ and Vaḻudiyadaraiyaṉ the
phrase tirueḻuttu occurs, perhaps signifying royal assent.
