For Mahādeva of Śrī Vijaiyamaṅgalam of big Śrī Vāṉavan-mahādevi-catturvedimaṅgalam, a brahmadeya on the northern bank, Ampalavaṉ Paḻuvūr Nakkaṉ alias Śrī Vikramacōḻa Mārāyaṉ, who made ceyvitta this holy stone temple ittirukkaṟṟaḷi, gave for 4, four, perpetual lamps, as long as the sun and the moon endure.

At the rate of ninety-six goats for one uḻakku of ghee every day for one lamp, three hundred and eighty-four goats for one nāḻi of ghee every day for four lamps, as long as the sun and the moon endure, he gave those 384 non dying non ageing great goats.
