Summary: This record belongs to the reign of the Pāṇḍya king Varaguṇa-Mahārāja and is dated in the 4th year and 4635th day of his reign. The puḷḷi is marked in many consonants which fact proves its early date. The Sanskrit verse at the beginning states that a certain Kaḍambavēḷāṉ donated 15 kāśu and that from its interest a lamp was to be maintained in the temple of Śiva of Nūtanagrāma. The Tamil portion records that Maṟavaṉ Aṇukkappēraraiyaṉ alias Kaḍambaṉvēḷāṉ of Perumāttūr in Muttūṟṟu-kūṟṟam made a gift of 15 paḻaṅgāśu and a lamp stand for burning a perpetual lamp in the temple and another similar amount for the supply of garlands to the deity. Tirupputtūr (Nūtanagrāma) is said to be a brahmadēya in Koḻuvūr-kūṟṟam.
