Creation of the file

caṅkāṇṭāḷ nāyakar

caṅkāṇṭāḷ caṅkāṇṭāṉ

The Nāyakar (Buddha) donated by Caṅkāṇṭāṉ.

The Lord of Caṅkāṇṭāḷ."She who governs / rules over the conch."

comments thus: The donor's name is given here. Or it may mean the Buddha, the Lord of all treasures (including śaṅkha). If the correct reading is caṅkāṇṭāḷ (a feminine form) and not caṅkāṇṭāṉ, the interpretation as a designation of the Buddha seems precluded.
