This record of Māṟañjaḍaiyaṉ alias Pāṇḍyakulapati Varaguṇa Mahārāja registers the gift of 120 kāśu by the king for burning a perpetual lamp in the temple of Mahādēva at Tiruttavattuṟai in uḍaiyāṟṟu-nāḍu. The king is stated to have transmitted the gift through a certain Aṇḍanāṭṭu-Vēḷāṉ and the money was received by the assembly of Iḷamperuṅkāyirukkai in Iḍaiyāṟṟu-nāḍu who agreed to supply one nāḻi of ghee for burning the lamp.
