Vikramapāṇḍyadēva: Year 6 = c. 1187-88 A.D.

This inscription records the gift of lands for food offerings to god Tirumalaiuḍaiya-Tēnāṟṟu-Nāyakar at Tirukkuṉṟakkuḍi, one of the villages irrigated by (the river) Tēnāṟu, in Adaḷaiyūr-nāḍu in Kēraḷasiṅga-vaḷanāḍu by Uyyavandāṉ Gaṇḍan alias Gāṅgēyan alias Tiyāgamīgāman. The lands, stated to be situated at Tirukkuṉṟakkuḍi, comprised the other half of the share belonging to the donor. The first half of the share formed the gift to the same deity in No. 25 above, by another donor who was probably the elder brother of the donor of the present record, as can be guessed by the title Adaiḷaiyūr-nāḍāḻvār borne by him, a title which is not borne by the donor of the present record.

It seems to record a gift of lands in Tirukkuṉṟakkuḍi, made tax-free, for food offerings to god Uḍaiyār Tēnāṟṟu-Nāyakar of Tirukkuṉṟakkuḍi, by Gaṇḍaṉ Udaiyañcheydāṉ alias (name lost), probably Gāṅgēyaṉ, the same as the one figuring in No. 41 above, of Niyamam, one of the villages irrigated by (the river) Tēnāṟu in Kēraḷasiṅga-vaḷanāḍu. The lands are stated to have been previously sold to a person named Tiruttaḷikōdai alias Vikkiramapāṇḍyapaṉmaṉ of Niyamam, by Gaṇḍaṉ Udayañcheydāṉ.
