## Summary

On the rock which forms the north wall of the Tirumalaikkaḍambar temple.

Māṟa Sundarapāṇḍya I. Year 3: 1219 A.D.

On grounds of palaeography and the identity of the signatories with
those in No. 390 above belonging to the reign of Kulōttuṅga III,
Tribhuvanachakravartin Sundarapāṇḍyadēva mentioned in this record may be
identified with Māṟavarmaṉ Sundarapāṇḍya I.

This inscription records the gift of 4(1/2) kaḻañju of gold of eight
māṟi by Veḷiyāṟṟuḍaiyān-Śōṟan Tanti and his sister Ariyāṉṟāḷ for mid-day
offerings and a lamp to god Nagarīśvaramuḍaiya Nāyanār of
Teliṅgakulakālapura alias Kulōttuṅgaśōḻa Paṭṭaṇam in
Iraṭṭapāḍikoṇḍaśōḻa-vaḷanāḍu. The Śivabrāhmaṇas of the tiruvuṇṇāḻigai
(Sanctum sanctorum), who received the gold, undertook to arrange for the
offerings and the burning of the lamp.
