Summary: This records a gift of 96 sheep for the daily supply of an uḻakku of ghee for burning a lamp in the same temple, by a certain Vaḷavakōṉ Pēraraiyar. The sabhā of the village undertook the maintenance of the lamp. This inscription should also be assigned to Āditya I on account of the early script employed in it and the puḷḷi over consonants. Tiruneyttāṉam is referred to as a dēvadāna in Poygai-nāḍu.
