## Summary

This begins with Tirumagaḷpōla introduction. This is a Vaṭṭeḻuttu
inscription which is mutilated towards the end. It seems to record a
gift (of 15 cows ?) for a perpetual lamp in the temple at
Tirumāliruñjōlai in Kīḻkaḷakkūṟṟam said to be a division of
Rājarāja-vaḷanāḍu, by a native of Tirunelvēli in Kīḻvembaināḍu.
