item 228.

[1] The editor estimates at this point a lacuna of about ten characters.
The restoration “ulakuṭai mukkōk kiḻāṉaṭika” follows the expected
meykkīrtti and could be accommodated, at least in part, within such a
gap. However, it is highly unlikely that the aforementioned gap
corresponds exactly to the missing line, which suggests either that the
lacuna was larger than recorded or that part of the line was in fact
omitted.

[2] The name Āṭkoṇṭān Tēvuntiruvumuṭaiyāḷ does not seem to be attested
in any other available epigraphic record.
