 2019-2025 DHARMAbase Stone-slab inscription. Mentions the Miṉṉāmaḻai-Īśvara at Koṭumpāḷūr (possibly one of the three vimānas of the present-day Mūvarkōyil) and the temple (kōyil) of Vīra Murukki Nāṅkai (probably Durgā/Koṟṟavai), both apparently objects of an installation by Acīti Paṇṭitar. Mentions a kapālam in connexion with Aciti Paṇṭitar, thus possibly a skull-bearer ascetic. Records the donation of a pillar (tirunilai) of the maṇḍapa built by another Paṇṭitar.

The temple of the lord (īśvara) of Miṇṇāmaḻai might thus be the present-day Mūvarkōyil complex or the central of its three vimānas. at Koṭumpāḷūr in the kuṟram of Uṟattūr and in the temple kōyil of Vīra MurukkiThat is, Murukku.
