Tamil, Vatteluttu Purport: This fragmentary inscription appears to record a gift of 100 sheep by Sāttar-Guņattan of Kuņņūr in Karunilakkudinādu for supplying ghee to a deity in the temple of Tirukkāțțāmballi at Kurandi.

6. *-Guņattān attiņa ādu nūļu [|1 *] Notes : "From other records it is known that at Kurandi there
flourished in the olden days an important Jaina temple named Tirukkāțțāmballi. This stone may have belonged originally to that temple and removed thence and placed in this temple. Kusandi may be identified with the village of the same name in the Aruppukkottai Taluk.” “Kusaņdi has been alternately identified with a place in Agastisvaram Taluk of the old Travancore State (Trav. Arch. Series, Vol. III, p. 2).”
