Hail ! Prosperity ! In the 9th year of (the reign of) king Pārthivēndrādhipativarman, 90 sheep which neither die nor grow old were given by Lōkamahārāyar for a perpetual lamp, to (the temple of) Lōkamahārāyat-Tiruchchiṟṟambalattāḷvār at Maḻalaimaṅgalam in Maṇaiyir-kōṭṭam. Having received these sheep, the shepherds of this village Moṭṭai Aṅgāḍi and Nambi, the son of Iḷamaimaṉ Siṟaiyaḍikki, shall pour out the ghee (required) for this lamp.

Ivviḷakkeṇṇai. The word eṇṇai is here apparently used for ghee. This is perhaps due to the fact that oil is the chief ingredient with which people burn their lamps; compare ney eṇṇai = liquid ghee on page 357 above, footnote 2.
