Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: The inscription begins with expression Pugaḻmādu viḷaṅga etc., It registers an endowment of two pieces of land making up 2 ¾ vēli in extent by the sabhā of Tirukkaḍavūr, for the maintenance of some Śivayōgis attached to a maṭha called the Kuṅgiliyakkalai[yar-maḍam] in the temple, which was evidently established by one Paḻandīparāyaṉ of Śiṟṟāmūr, and for the requirements of worship during the ardhayāma and the paḷḷi-eḻuchchi services in the temple. The gift is said to have been made for the well-being of the king’s person. The record is incomplete.
