Summary: This records an endowment of land after purchasing the plots from several persons, made by the queen-mother of Gaṇḍarādittaṉ Madhurāntaka Śri Uttama-Chōḷa for the merit of her son, to the temple of Tiruchchēlūr-Āḻvār at Rājakēsarichaturvēdimaṅgalam to provide for the sacred bath of the god with 108 pots of water on all days of saṅkrānti, for offerings and a pair of clothes for the deity and for the remuneration of the nambi (priest) who performed worship in the temple. The names of the villages and channels occurring in the record such as Naratoṅga, Śrīkaṇṭha, Śōḻachūḷāmaṇi etc. are suggestive of the surnames of the king’s predecessors.
