## Summary

This is left incomplete towards the end. The inscription registers the
uḷvari (entry in Tax-register) for the lands endowed after purchase by
one Taṟaiyuḍaiyāṉ Vichchādiraṉ Sahāyaṉ alias Viñjirāyaṉ to provide for
the requirements of worship and offerings (specified in detail) on all
important festival Sundays in the temple of Ūrbāgaṅkoṇḍadēvar at
Iṟaiyānaraiyūr, on which occasions the image of the goddess
Tiruppaḷḷiyaṟai-Āḷuḍaiyāḷ was taken in procession round the temple to
the recital of Tiruchchāḻal hymns (of Māṇikyavāchaka).
