Commentary
This record continues INSTamilNadu00031, which is likely a copy of an earlier transaction. Given that the present inscription is carved between that record and INSTamilNadu00032, it probably belongs to the same administrative dossier, engraved when the endowment was supplemented the 34th regnal year of Kuloṭṭuṅga.
