## Summary

On the north wall of the central shrine in the Vālīśvara temple.

Ś. 1358: 1436 A.D.

The details of date i.e., Śaka 1338, Naḷa, Arpaśi, 25 are irregular. If
the Śaka year quoted is a mistake for Ś. 1358, the date would correspond
to 1436 A.D.

This inscription records the gift of two door-ways in the shrine of
Tiruvālīśvaramuḍaiya nāyanār and the setting up of an image of
Tiruppaḷḷi-nāchchiyār for the god, by Śakkaraśar, son of Ayyaluppi
Kaḍaiyār Vide No. 725 below.
