The inscription is prefaced with the statement aruḷi-cheyal indicating that what follows is a royal order. But the name of the king is not given.

Addressed to the nāṭṭavar of the mēl-kūṟṟu of Vembār-nāḍu, the record says that (the village) Nochchiyam had in the past been granted as iṟaiili (tax-free) designated as nandavana-ppuṟa-iṟai-ili (tax-free land meant to be enjoyed as maintenance by those tending the flower-garden attached to the temple) and was being utilised for (meeting the expenses of) worship, maintenance of temple premises and for procession during festivals of God Gōpāla[r]-kūttar-viṇṇakar-emberumān, but later came to be taxed (tiṟappāy) and remained so till the tenth year. Now this order restored the village to the iṟai-ili status for the same purposes as originally intended. However, it was specified that the (annual) festival should be so arranged so that the tittam (tīrtham) (the valedictory function) should fall on the day of chōti (svāti) in the month of Chittirai, the birth-day (of the king) who issued this order. It was further specified that the iṟai-ili lands of bhaṭṭar (brahmins) and pulavar (poets) and the uḷḷūr-nāyanmār and what was earmarked as tiruviḷakkuppuṟam (land the proceeds from which were to maintain the lamps) were excepted from the purview of the grant. It is stated that the grant of the village of the God as iṟai-ili now meant that the levies, uḷḷūr-nāyanār-dūta-vari, śī-kāriya-ppēru, kāṇikkai, natta-vari, maravaḍai, kuḷavaḍai, taṟi-iṟai, chekk-iṟai, veṭṭi, āṇaikkūḍam, kudiraippanti and all other such āyams were exempted from payment or were entitled to be levied and enjoyed for the temple purposes. The order was attested by Sundara-pāṇḍiya-Viḻupparaiyaṉ and Vaḍa-gōpuram-uḍaiyān Kaḍalaḍaitta-viḻupparaiyaṉ of Iḷaṅguḍi alias Indiravatāranallūr in Vaḍa-vallattirukkai in Pāṇḍi-maṇḍalam.

This records a settlement made jointly by Ayyaṅgāṟappar, the agent (kāriyattukku-kartar) of Śrīmatu Kṛishṇappa-nāyakkar and the nāṭṭār, of Veṇbāṟ-chirmai in respect of Nochiyam village which as per records (kalveṭṭivitta-paṭi) was sarvvamāṉyam (land freed from all taxes and encumberances) of Perumāḷ Gopāla-kūttar of Perumbalūr. In this village which was being managed (naḍatti-vanda) by Nochchiyam dhanma-puttirar, Chūrappa-Nāyakkar-ayyaṉ began to collect some amount of pōṉ as chōḍi. Now it was ordered that this chōḍi-poṉ need not be paid and the village would be fully sarvvamānya. The income from it must be utilised for the worship of the God and maintenance (of the temple structure) of Perumāḷ.

Perumāḷ Sundara-pāṇḍya Year 17 + 1 = 18 Āvaṇi.

Records that for celebrating a festival with the tittam (ceremonial and final function) on the day of Bharaṇi (in the month of Āvaṇi every year ?), the tirunāḷ (the birthday asterism) of Teṉṉavaṉai-muḻudum-uḍaiyāḷ, the queen of the king (nam-pirāṭṭiyār), the ūravar of Perambalūr assigned as tiruviḍaiyāṭṭa-iraiili) (tax free land in the enjoyment of a Vishṇu temple) in perpetuity 10 vēli, out of the land which had always remained uncultivated or waste (aṉaittāṇḍum-pāḻ-kiḍanda) to the south of Perambalūr and another plot of 2 vēli, for raising a flower garden (tiru-nanda-vana-ppuṟa-iṟai-ili) (tax free land which had attached to the temple garden). On the order of the ūravar, Iḷavēḷūr-uḍaiyāṉ Vaḻittuṇai-pperumāḷ, the accountant of the ūr wrote this and also attested it. [other members of the line also attested the record but this portion of the inscription is damaged].

Perumāḷ Sundara-pāṇḍya, Year 18.

The records the royal order which is in the form of approval of the action of the Ūravar as recorded in No. 11 above to facilitate the celebration of the festival ending with tittam on the day of Bharaṇi, the birth day asterism of Akkaṉ (apparently this word referred to the queen as mentioned in No. 11 above. Here it is stated that the major bloc of 10 vēli of land had remained waste upto the 16th year. The assignment of this bloc as also of the block of 2 vēli, as tirunandavana-ppuṟa-iṟai-ili as made by the nāṭṭār as recorded in No. 11 above was now approved by the king who further exempted these two blocs of land from taxes (tiru-viḍai-yāṭṭa-iṟai-ili) and all the cesses (āyam) such as tūta-vari, śi-kāriya-ppēṟṟu-kkaḍmai, paruchaṭṭa-kkāṇikkai from the year 18. The exemption as ordered seems to have implied an authority to the temple to collect these taxes from the blocs for its own use, as now, that royal order stipulated that with that capital, a sandhi worship and maintenance of the premises of the temple must also be carried out. The record was authenticated by Neṭṭūr-uḍaiyāṉ ⟨Page 18⟩ and Sundara-pāṇḍiya-Viḻupparaiyan in that order. That the above was a royal order is indicated by the word viditam (with my knowledge) at the end.

This is the authentication by the nāṭṭavar, of the setting apart of the 12 vēli of land (described again here) as tiruviḍaiyāṭṭa-iṟaiili effective from the date of the record i.e. from Avaṇi in the year 17+1 of the king.

On this basis, it was commented upon in the part II, para 34 of the Annual Report for 1915, that contrary to the statements in the ulās written in honour of Kulōttuṅga-chōḷa II and Rājarāja-chōla II, this record attributes the honour of covering the temple of Tiruchiṟṟambalam-uḍaiyār with gold to Vikrama-chōḻa. ⟨Page 23⟩

Tribhuvanachakravartti Rājādhirāja II Year 5, Tulā, 15, Monday, Viśākham-1170 A.D. October 12^1^

The chief noteworthy feature in this record is the date. Whereas in all the records of this king which supply details of the date, each set of those details is found to be capable of being equated to two dates in the Christian era, on the basis of assuming his initial year of reign either as ⟨Page 26⟩ 1163 A.D. or as 1166 A.D., in the instant case, for the details of date given, there is only one equivalent as given above in the half century 1151-1200. A.D. This indicates that only 1166 A.D., was the initial year of this king's reign. Another notable detail is the reference to a Vīrāntara-pperunteru as a quarter accommodating merchants in Tiṭṭaikuḍi alias Tiruchchiṟṟambalachatur-vēdimaṅgalam.

4 Cows were endowed for a sandhi lamp for God Tirukkuraṅgāḍuuḍaiya-Mahādēvar in brahmadēyam Iṟaivāṉ-puṉchey in Ugaḷūr-kkūṟṟam in Muḍikoṇḍachōḻa-vaḷanāḍu by, possibly, a trader. The endowment was received with a promise to execute the wishes of the donor by three śivabrāhmaṇas, two of whom at least bear one the same names as of those that figure in No. 16 above.

Tribhuvanachakravartti Rājarāja (II) Year 8

The scribe of this record seems to have been in doubt about the succession title of the king, whether it was Parakēsari or Rājakēsari. He started with Pa but continued to write Rāsa. The king of the record is Parakēsarivarman is well indicated as it is prefaced with the mey-kkīrtti of Rājarāja II, beginning with Pū-maruviya.

It records the endowment of 60 kāśu by one Āḷichem ••• da-rāja •• vāḷān as ubhayam for God Tirukkuraṇgkāḍutuṟai-uḍaiya-Mādēvar in biramadēyam Iṟaiyān-puṉchai in Ugaḷūṟ-kūṟṟam in Muḍikoṇḍa-chōḷavaḷanāḍu. The kāśu was converted into paddy and with the interest in paddy on that capital, the expenses on the services to the God on every amāvāsyā day (?) and on the payment of fees to those serving the God were fixed to be met. To this effect the undertaking was given by three śivabrāhmaṇas (one of whom was the same as the one figuring in No. 16, 19 and 20 above) and the ugachchan.

Kō-(pā)Rājakēsarivarman Tribhuvanachakravartti Kulōttuṅga-chōḻa (II) Year 4

Again the scribe remained neutral while giving the succession title of the king and wrote kō-Pa-Rājakēsari-varman. This record has links with No. 22 above. Apparently the present record is the original royal order granting 20 vēli of land as dēvadāṉa-iṟai-ili (tax-free land in favour of the God) to God Tirukkuraṅgāḍu-tuṟai-uḍaiya-Mahādēvar at Iṟaiyān-puñchey in Ugaḻūr-kūṟṟam alias Tenūr-vāḍakai in ••••• chōḻa-vaḷanāḍu and No. 21 was an executive order. The contribution due per vēli was twenty kalam. This record states that if in respect of this land nilōpadi māḍai was to be accounted for it may be done (churukkuga) by the ūr (The meaning of these technical expressions is not clear).

Tribhuvanachakravartti-Parākrama-pāṇḍya Year 2, Vṟiśchika, ba. di 3, Friday, Punarpūśam = 1336, A.D. November 22.

This is a record of a royal gift of the village [Kaḻanivāyil] alias Parākramapāṇḍya-nallūr (?) as dēvadāna-iṟai-ili (tax-free land in favour of the God) to God Tirukkuraṅkāḍu-tuṟai-uḍaiyār Kuṟṟam-poṟuttaruḷiyanāyanār of brahmadēyam Iṟaiyāṉ-puṉchey in Ugaḷūr-kūṟṟam in Vaḍakarai-Rājasiṁha-vaḷanāḍu, for the celebration of a festival in (the month) of Puraṭṭādi to culminate on the day of Pūrāḍam, the birth-asterism of the king. The grant included the right to the habitations (nattam), wet and dry lands, irrigation facilities and the cash levies on account of the ūr. It appears that the entitlements of Ariyalūr-uḍaiyāṉ Aruḷāḷa-pperumāḷ-mudaliyār and consorts (deified personalities ?) were exempted from the purview of the grant. The record was authenticated by Īrāja-sundara-dēvar, Kappalūruḍaiyāṉ Kāliṅgarājan and Maṇa[m-a]manta-Puttūr-uḍaiyā[ṉ] Villavarāyar.

This damaged inscription seems to register the grant of a village to God Tirukkuraṅgāḍutuṟai-uḍaiyār-Kuṟṟam-poṟuttaruḷiya-nāyanār in Viṭṭapaṟṟu-Ugaḷūr-kūṟṟam in Irāśiṅga-vaḷanāḍu by Tēvaṇa-nāyakkar for the health (tirumēnikku naṉṟāga) of Dakshiṇa-samudrādhipati Ilakkaṇṇa-Daṇṇāyakka-Uḍaiyāṟ. Mentions Śivarātri-puṇyakālam, in this connection but apparently this auspicious occasion had no link with the date of the record, as even the monthly Śivarātri (the fourteenth day of the dark fortnight) in the month of Makara can never coincide with the asterism svāti and the Mahāśivarātri is observed only in the lunar month Māgha. So the record seems to have been officially issued earlier to cater for the delays in the process of giving effect to the order.

Mallikārjunarāyar, son of Sri-Vīra-pratāparāya Dēvarāyar-mahārāyar Śaka 1381, Vikrama, Karkaṭaka, śu. 9, Monday, Pūśam, Irregular.

The data given is a puzzle. The Śaka year 138 does not correspond with the cyclic year cited and in the month of Karkaṭaka śu. 9 can never coincide with the asterism Pūśam.

Records the benefaction done by the nāṭṭavar of Veṇpar-nāḍu exempting the village Kaḻanivāśal, the dēvadānam-tirunāmattuk-kāṇi of Tirukkuṟaṅgāḍu-tuṟai-uḍaiyār-kūṟṟam-poṟuttaruḷiya-nāyaṉār of Viṭṭa-paṟṟuugaḷūr-kūṟṟam in Vaḍakarai Irāśiṅga-vaḷanāḍu, from various levies which were due to themselves so that the villagers of that village might pay for the food-offerings during one sandhi daily and for the construction of tirukkōpuram.

States that Adisūdamaṅgalam alias Chembiyaṉ-Kaḷattūr was the kuḍinīṅgā-dēvadānam (village granted to god without involving the eviction of tenants) of God Kuṟṟam-poṟutta-nāyaṉār of Tirukkuraṅgāḍu-tuṟai in Ugaḷūr-kūṟṟam in Vaḍakarai-Irājaśiṅga-vaḷanāḍu which included all the appertaining land of that village. It appears that the village was subject to the system of karai and that exectly half of the 18 karais of the village, had been sold to the God by three individuals in conjuction with their other relatives who had share rights in the karai, in four instalments, the first sale having been effected in the year 27, Tulā. An amount of 75,000 kāśu is stated to have been realised by the individuals in the sale. The circumstances under which the individual gained the rights in the village which is referred to have been the god's own dēvadāna and why the God purchased only half of the 18 karais from the individuals referred to are explained in a phrase i-nilan-kuḻi muṟṟil but its meaning is obscure. ⟨Page 46⟩

It is stated that the ūramai of the whole of Kaḷani-vāśal was ten, out of which 2-(1/2) was the tirunāmattukkāṇi-iṟai-ili (tax free land to be held in its own charge by the temple ?)

In late characters (14-15th century), this record, whose later portion is lost, records a resolution of the Valaṅgai-98 and Iḍaṅgai-98 of ⟨Page 50⟩ Vaḷudalampaṭṭu-usāvaḍi having assembled in the tirukkaṭṭaḷai of the temple of Kuṟṟam-poṟuttaruḷiya-nāyinār of Kuraṅgāḍutuṟai in Viṭṭapaṟṟu-Ugaḷūrkūṟṟam in Poṉparappi-śūḻnda-padineṭṭupaṟṟu in Iruṅgōḷappāḍip Paṇḍīyavaḷanāḍu in Mēṟkānāḍu in Virudarāja-bhayaṅkara-vaḷanāḍu on the northern bank of the Kāvēri, to meet again and again to hear complaints (from the members of their groups) of harrassment from Uśāvaḍi-ppiṟādhāni, vaṉṉiyar and jivitakārar as also from the birāmaṇar and veḷḷāḷar, the holders of kāṇi and such persons, with the collusion of royal officicals (irāja-karttār). Apparently the valaṅgai-98 and iḍaṅgai-98 would arrange for relief to the members of their group from such harassment.

Tribhuvanachchakravartti Parākrama-Pāṇḍya Year 4, Vaikāśi 4.

Records the transaction conducted by the paṉ-nāṭṭavar including nāḍu and nagaram of several maṇḍalams having met at Periyanāṭṭāṉ-kāvu in Ugaḷūr on the said date, to hear complaints (paḻi-kāriyam). It states that in the 4th year of Vikramachōḷa-dēvar, their ancestors (mūdādikaḷ) (apparently those who are specified later as the paḷḷi-nāṭṭavar) who after securing the consent of specified paḷḷis holding kāṇi in four places in that nāḍu, had decided to levy 50 kāśu and one kuṟuṉi of rice per family (kuḍi) (belonging to the group) to make up 5000 kāśu and 100 kalam of rice, even by exercising coersion (as and when necessary) for providing for the food offerings, side-dishes and decorations every day including the day of the festivals to the God in the temple of Kuraṅgāḍi-Mahādēvar in Iṟaiyānpuñchai in Ugaḷūr-kūṟṟam in Muḍikoṇḍachōḻa-vaḷanāḍu. A new image of that deity was installed as the original image had been taken away to Torasamuttiram (Dvārasamudram) (Torasamuttirattara-eḷuntaruḷi-ppōgaiyil) when periya-vaḍugaṉ disturbed the tranquility (chēmam-iḷaka) and caused a turmoil (Periya vaḍukan kalakam). It is stated that in view of this benefaction made, Perumāḷ-Kulōttuṅga-chōḷa had orally ordered that the paḷḷi-nāṭṭavar should be honoured with silken (paṭṭu) head-gear (parivaṭṭam), first service with sacred water (titimunōḍukkum) and the announcement of their distinguised identify as paṉṉaṭṭāṉ-tambirān and vandān dēvargaḷ-dēvan in that order when they started out. Probably the benefaction was not being properly carried out necessitating the assemblage of the pan-nāṭṭavar on the date of this record. Now this body resolved that the levies would be collected as decided earlier. Further they also decided that for the food offerings and decoration (chāttupaṭi) of this nayanār, one paṇam per bow (vil) would be collected in the several maṇḍalams in addition. ⟨Page 52⟩

Records the decision (niṉrayam-ṇirnayam) made by Āḷvār-Tirū-viṉai-tīttār, the secretary/agent of Ayyan [Vī]ramaraśar in respect of the agricultural life in the 12 ūr in Viṭṭa-ppaṟṟu Ugaḷūr-kūṟṟam-Pā[v]āy-chīrmai. It is stated that the previous decision in respect of this chīrmai had become defunct and the kuḍi abandoned (the land) leaving it waste and hence the present directive to the effect that where the kuḍi came back and settled in these 12 ūrs (and took up puñchey land for cultivation) in this chīrmai, 5 paṇam per new plough (per year) would be collected as taram in the first year and in the second year and thereafter forever 10 paṇam would be collected. Where naṉchai was taken up for cultivation, 8 paṇam per 100 kuḷi would be collected as taram for all time.

JaTAvarman Tribhuvanachchakravartti Vīra-pāṇḍya Year 22, Vṛiśchika śu. 5, Monday, Uttirāḍam 1318 A.D., October 30. 1

This records a resolution by the nāṭṭavar (adminstrative body in a nāḍu territorial division) of Karikāla-chōḻa-vaḷanāḍu on the northern bank (of the river Kāvērī ?) as communicated to the Ādi-chaṇḍēśvara-dēvār-kaṇmi and temple ⟨Page 56⟩ accountants of the temple of Śrī-Kayilāsaṁ-uḍaiya-nāyaṉār, the uḍaiyār of Tirukkārīkuḍi alais Vikrama-chōḻapuram in the same nāḍu as mentioned above. The resolution pertained to the grant of the village Ūṟṟakkarai alias Aḻagiyakūttanallūr including all the land there in naṉ-chey, puṉ-chey, kāḍu, mēḍu, kaḷar and tiḍal as serva-namasyam and mudal-aḍaṅgā-iṟai-ili (tax free-inclusive of mudal) to the above stated temple, for the purpose of having the daily worship done for the food-offerings and decoration (śāttu-ppaḍi) during the festival in the month of Chittirai, conducted and for the carrying out of the periodical maintanance and repairs of the temple premises. The field measuring 200 kuḻi that has been allotted free of taxes for the upkeep of the kuḷumi (tank ?) constructed by Tirumāṇikkadēvan alias Chittiramēḻi-taṭṭāṉ, in the same village was excepted from the purview of the above grant. The record refers to the tanks of the village having been silted up and rendered useless which were now repaired, and the wet land fed by those tanks, the āyam collections, maravaḍai, āyavargam, pañjupīli, vikkiramāppāru, taṟi-iṟai, taṭṭār-pāṭṭam, (taṭṭoli ?), chekkirai, ērivari, inavari, iḍai- ••••• kuḷavaḍai, olukkunīr pāṭṭam, āṉai-śālai, kudiraippandi, ••• ṇikkai, kāttigai-ppachchai, nā[ṭṭu]-viniyōgam etc were made the entitlements of the temple. The intervention in this regard by Perumāḷ Kulaśēkharadēvar, various mudalis, uḍankūṭṭam and Vijayadēvar are also mentioned.

The beginning of the record is lost. The available portion starts with the details of the boundaries. It seems to record that Kāḷi-Aḻagiya-chōḻa-chcheṭṭiyār was to hold the temple land of 2 mā extent capable of growing one crop as kuḍi-nīṅgāda (without having the kuḍi removed) dēvadāna and remit into the treasury (śri-bhaṇḍāram) of the temple of Tirumāṇikkamalai-uḍaiya-nāyanār, 9 kalam per annum. The Ādi-daṇḍēśvara-dēvakaṉmigaḷ of the temple undertook to expend that paddy during three festivals. Irāja-rāja-Viḻupparaiyar and Kārāṇai-Viḻupparaiyar are sold to have held two plots of land designated as chaṭṭippuṟam (land earmarked for the supply of pots or rice for food-offering to the temple) of the Tirukkaḍamban-tuṟai-uḍaiya-nāyāṉār, which were on the boundary of the land referred to above. One of the signatories for the record was the nagarakkaṇkāṇi (supervisor of the nagaram ?).

Demaged. In late characters. States that some Cheṭṭiyār (śrēshṭis) belonging to the group Vaiśya-nagarattār deposited into the temple-treasury a throne for Uttarapati-nāya[kar]. It seems that in recognition of this, a house-site was granted to them as maṭam. An extent of 2 vēli also seems to have been gifted to them as maṭam probably the house-site was for setting up the maṭam. It is possible that the maṭam was already in existence under their control and the grant of 2 vēli of cultivable land was for meeting the running expenses of their maṭam. It is also stated that 200 paṇam for gold jewels of 15 kaḻañju and 50 paṇam for a veḷḷi-orrai (?) (silver ornament) had also been granted, probably by the cheṭṭiyārs. It appears that actually it was against this donation the house-site and the 2 Vēli of land had been gifted to the cheṭṭiyārs. the land concerned made as sarvvamānya (ie) it was exempt from all upādis like old tax (paḻavari) and new tax (puduvari), and śoṟu-māṭṭu. This record equates 15 kaḻañju to 200 paṇam.

The stones containing the inscription have been disturbed and portions are missing.

Seems to record a provision made by some Cheṭṭiyārs of the group Vaiśyar alias nagarattār for the celebration of the festival cheṇbu-ttirunāḷ and for the procession of God Uttirāpati-nāyakar. Some brahmin/brahmins seem to have sold 2 7/8 shares and a houses-site for 400 paṇam, the context of which is not clear.

The mey-kkīrtti beginning with tiṅgaḷēr taru of the king forms the introductory portion of the record. It records that the peruṅguri-sabhā of brahmadēyam Tirukkkaṇṇapuram in Marukaḷ-nāḍu in Kshatriyaśikhāmaṇivaḷanāḍu met at the temple of Biramīśvaramuḍaiya-Mahādēvar in their ūr and made as irai-ili (tax-free) a plot of land of one vēli and 5(1/2)-mā in extent, and further freed it from the tiru-vāśalil-pōnda-kuḍimai, veḷḷān-veṭṭi, vēli-kāśu and such, in favour of Tribhuvana-chaṇḍēśvaramuḍaiya-dēvar, the principal servant of Gaṇapatīśvarmuḍaiya-mādēvar in Tiruchcheṅgāṭṭāṅguḍi in their ūr on receiving 115 kāśu (apparently from the temple). The record is unfinished.

Rājarāja (I) Year 29.

Records the gift of 3 mā of land for the festival for Chiṟuttoṇḍa-nambi, who served the God Mahādēvar-Chīrāḷa-dēvar of Tiruchcheṅgāṭṭāṅkuḍi, a ⟨Page 93⟩ dēvadānam in Marugā-nāḍu by Marugal-uḍaiyāṉ Tāḻiguṇanilai and Marukaluḍaiyāṉ Pūvan Nakkan, who had the kāṇi of Iṟaiyāṉkuḍi which was the land of Marugā-kkō of Marukā-nāḍu in Mummuḍi-chōḻa-vaḷanāḍu. The donors undertook to pay the iṟai on the land. The land appears to have been gifted in the name of Tiru-vīrabhadra. It is stated that these two individuals got the kāṇi as above in the 17th and 18th years of the king after the survey (ulagaḷandērina).

Uttarāpatīśvara temple, Gaṇapatīśvara shrine, west base of the maṇḍapa in front of

Tribhuvanachakravartti Kulōttuṅgachōḻa (I?) Year 45.

That the record is dated in the year 45, indicates that the king mentioned was Kulōttuṅga I. It was Kulōttuṅga III, the dating of this record will mean that his reign extended upto this date instead of upto only his year 40.

It records the making of two plots of land, one of 1/2 vēli and the other of 1/2 vēli and mā thus totalling 1 vēli 1 mā as iṟai-ili (tax-free) by the ūravar of Tiruchcheṅgāṭṭāṅguḍi in Marukal-nāḍu in Gēyamāṇikkavaḷanāḍu in favour of the Gods Gaṇavatīśvaram-uḍaiyār and Uttarāpatināyakar to provide for the flower tiru-chcheṅ-kaḻunīr required for the midnight service, by raising the same (in a garden) by utilising the two plots of land referred to above. ⟨Page 103⟩

Uttarāpatīśvara temple, Gaṇapatīśvara shrine, north base of the maṇḍapa in front of

Tribhuvanachakravartti Kulōttuṅga (III) Year 11, Vṛīśchika, ba. 14 Friday, Anusham = 1188 A.D. November 18, f.d.t. 42 f.d.n. .78.

States that as per order, dated year 9+1 of Periya-dēvar Kulōttuṅgachōḻa-dēvar, a bloc of land of 5 vēli extent was separated with the name Śivapādaśēkhara-maṅgalam, from Kaṇṇapuram, a brahmadēyam, after excluding the land that was iṟai-ili (tax-free) and under enjoyment of Paḻamperuṁ-Kaṇṇaputtāṉ and made dēvadāna-iṟai-ili in favour of God Tiruvirāmanantīśvaram-uḍaiyār of Tirukkaṇṇapuram, a brahmadēyam in Marukal-nāḍu in Geyamāṇikka-vaḷanāḍu. As the temple of this God was not built in stone there was difficulty in preserving the record by inscribing, the tānattār of the temple talked to Kaḍuvaṅguḍaiyār Tulaiyāda-chelvar alias Chōḻakōṉār who had the paṟṟu of this temple (Uttarāpatīśvaramuḍaiyār temple) and the record was arranged to be inscribed in the eastern tiru-maṇḍapa of the temple. The temples of God Tiruvirāmanantīśvaram uḍaiyār was also probably renovated in the year 9+1 of Periya-dēvar Kulōttuṅgachōḻa-dēvar.

Tribhuvanachakravartti Kulōttuṅga (III) Year 18, 330th day.

Records that one birāmmaṇi (brāhmaṇi) Alliaṅgōdai-ammai ku . nilai purchased land of good grade (taram-peṟṟa) on the border of Tirumarugal on the terms of sabhai-vilai from several brahmins as also from . ttaṉūrkiḻavan Arayan Tiruvēkambam-uḍaiyāṉ alias Uḍaiya-māttāṇḍa-pallavarayaṉ to lay a pathway (tiru-vīti) for the procession of Chīrāḷa-ppiḷḷaiyār from the abode (tiru-māḷigai) of Chiṟuttoṇḍa-dēvar of Tiruchcheṅgāttaṅkuḍi to Tiru-marugal. It refers to the correction in the land-measurement made in the survey conducted in the 16th year of Chuṅgan-tavirttaruḷina Kulōttuṅgachōḻa-dēvar and the opādi-paḻa-viṟai on the land purchased. It is not clearly stated as to how this opādi was proposed to be discharged. However, the mention of a long list of Puravuvari-śrī-karaṇattu-mugaveṭṭi royal officers as signatories it appears that the opādi was exempted in respect of the land concerned (See below)

Kulōttuṅga (III?) Year 18, 330th day.

This is a continuation of No. 66 above but refers to a different plot of land of good-grade (taram peṟṟa) on the border of this ūr (Tiruchcheṅgāṭṭaṅguḍi) purchased from 4 individuals (the land is stated to be iṟaiyāṉ-kuḍiyāna-kāḍu out of the Marukal-kō land) by birāmaṇi Alliyaṅgōdai-ammai for laying out the pathway for the procession of Chīrāḷa-ppillaiyār to Tirumarukal from the tiru-māḷigai of Chiṟuttoṇḍa dēvar in Tiruchcheṅgāṭṭaṅguḍi. The upādi-paḻaviṟai (recounted in detail) in respect of that land was either exempted or fixed at a concessional rate from year 18, piśānam. The list of the signatories is identical with No. 66.

Again this is in continuation of the previous two numbers. For the worship (archanaigaḷ) of Chīrāḷa-ppiḷḷaiyār in the Chiṟuttoṇḍa-dēvartirumāḷikai in Tiruchcheṅgāṭṭaṅguḍi in Marukal-nāḍu in Gēya-māṇikkavaḷanāḍu, one veli of land in Dīṉa-chintāmaṇi-chcharuppēdi-maṅgalam excluding the kāṇi land of Chikkal-uḍaiyān, and the (levies) including antarāyam, pāṭṭam, were granted as archanā-bhōga-iṟai-ili, probably on the orders of the king. The document was attested by a long list of officials as in No. 66 above. Refers to the iṟai-kaṭṭiṇa-kāṇikkaḍan opādi as determined in the year 11 of chuṅgan-tavirttaruḷina Kulōttuṅga-chōḻa-dēvar.

It states that the above allotment of land for the tiruvīdi and grant of land as archanā-bhōgaiṟai-ili were (approved by the king) on the supplication (viṇṇappam) of Śavaṇṇa-chchakkaravartti, son of Chavaṇṇaṉ svāmi, the bīrāmaṇi Alliyaṅ[gōdai]ammai and Āṇḍār Viḷaṅguḍaiyār Chiṟuttoṇḍar.

States that Araśūruḍaiyāṉ Tiruchchiṟṟambalam-uḍaiyāṉ alias Tiruchchiṟṟambala-ppallavarayan, made known to the Ādi-chaṇḍēśvaradēvar-kaṉmis of the temple of Gaṇapatīśvaram-uḍaiyār in Tiruchcheṅgāttāṅguḍi in Marugal-nāḍu in Gēyā-māṇikka-vaḷanāḍu that he had actually endowed 3(1/2) mā of land (though by a different calculation this extent of ⟨Page 117⟩ land is entered as 4 mā in the record), purchased from Nallakūr-uḍaiyāṉ Kaṇṇan Tiruchchiṟṟambalam-uḍaiyāṉ of the above ūr, for the various services of God Uttarāpati-nāyakar when he was taken in procession to the tiru-maṇḍapam named Tirumuttuvānēri on the day of Bharaṇi in the month of Chittirai, as also during the festivals in Vaikāśi, and Aippaśi months and also on Amāvāśyā (New moon) days. The expenses as intended were to be out of the reminder after paying iṟai (iṟai-migudi) on the said land.

Tribhuvanachakravartti Kulōttuṅga III Year 10, 123rd day.

Fragmentary. Contains portions of the king's meykkīrti, puyal vāyttu etc. Even in this truncated portion of the meykkīrrti, there is an interesting variant version of the king's dealings with the Pāṇḍyas. It is stated that his expedition against the progeny of Vīra-pāṇḍya was undertaken at the request of Vikrama-pāṇḍya.

Records a royal order stating that the kāṇi of Irājēndira-chōḻa-achāriyan will continue to be his kāṇi as before and that this order was issued at the instance of Irāja-rāja-ma[ṅ]galādarāyaṉ. This order was directed to be inscribed on stone. This was attested by various officials.

The middle portion of the inscription is damaged and the record is also unfinished.

This seems to record the grant of 6 mā of land in two plots, one in the village TiruvēTTai-kaṭṭaḷai, which he had acquired as tirunāmattukkāṇi (god's land) out of the kāṇi of Arayaṉ Tiruveṇkāḍu-uḍaiyāṉ and the second in the village Nagar alias DInachintāmaṇi-charuppēdimaṅgalam, the latter of which was Ur-kIḻ-iṟai-ili (tax-free under the arrangement of the Ur) and had been purchased from Chēndamaṅgalam-uḍaiyāṉ Ati-pattaṉ (adhi-bhakta ?) to serve as capital for food and other offerings to God Uttarāpati-nāyakar while his worship was conducted in ChiṟuttoṇḍanāyaṉAr-tirumāḷikai by a person of whose name only Śavurī-pperumāḷ is clear. The land was to be deemed as sādhu-śorru (Property of the sādhu). 1

Uttarāpatīśvara temple, Vātāpi-Gaṇapati shrine, east, north and west walls.

Tribhuvanachakravartti Kulōttuṅga III Year 22, 130th day.

This much damaged record tells about the arrangement made to lay an one-winged (with a row of houses on one side only) path-street (tiruvīdi) to form the third prākāra (aisle) (of the temple ?) and another street two-winged (i.e. with rows of houses on both sides) to be called Irājākkaḷtambirān. It gives elaborate details of the land (probably) dēvadāṉa-iṟaiili (tax-free land of maṭham) or tax-free land attached to the kitchen of the temple (maḍa-ppuṟam) which was taken over for devising the street mentioned. Also refers to the kāṇikkaḍan as fixed in the 11th and 41st years of śuṅgaṅ-tavirttaruḷina Kulōttuṅga-chōḻa-dēvar (I) and also to paḻavarai (old tax ?) which were apparently exempted in respect of the land utilised for laying out the streets. It also refers to several settlements which were separated from main villages. There is mention of land given in exchange ⟨Page 121⟩ (parivarttaṉai) (but the details of the land involved have not been given). Apparently exemption from taxes on the land involved was pursuant to a royal order as several officials are seen to have attested the record. At the end, there is mention of an uḷvari (a procedural document issued pursuant to a royal order) for making some land devadāṉa-iṟai-ili but the details are not available as the record is incomplete. Posible this has reference to the land given in exchange to the temple and maṭham in lieu of the land taken over for laying the street.

Kōnērīdēvā-mahārāja Ānanda, Māśi 15.

The chief is entitled, as available in the extent portion, as srīman-[mahāma]ṇḍalēśvara, paṭṭu-kaṭṭāri, rāya-vaśaṅkara, and matiyāda-ma[nnarmaṇavāla]. He is the same as the one who figures in a Kumbakōṇam record (259/1912), where he further claimed to be Kāñchīpura-varādhīśvara (See A.R, Ep. 1913 Part II, para 72; also ibid., 1912 Part II, para 53).

It records a niṉṟayam (nirṇṇaya) made by Māḷuva-chchakkiṟavartti, as conveyed to the accountant (kaṇakkuppiḷḷai) of the temple at Tiruchcheṅgāṭṭaṅguḍi, granting the several levies (leviable on the lands belonging to the temple-kōyil-chīrmai ?) excluding veṭṭi-vari, as sarvamānyam, for conducting the services, daily and on special festival days like the one in the months of Chittirai and the car-festival, of Nāyiṉār Uttarāpatināyakar. The list of the levies given in this record is in many respects similar to those found in different regions belonging to about the same period (See A.R. 1913, Part II, para 54, 56).

A somewhat unique feature of the grant is that the grantee (the authorities in charge of the temple) was exhorted to enjoy what had been granted without fear (añchāmal) and at ease (śukham-āga), indicating that the grant made might not be interfered with.

It may also be noted that sarva-mānya in this record appears to have indicated something (here, the grant), which was to be duly recognised and honoured by all.

This damaged record is an interesting case. It gives a long list of the titles assumed by the king reflecting his achievements, in Sanskrit.

It records the royal order granting 30 vēlis of land as one bloc to be named as ••• karaṇa-vikrama-ch[ōḻa]-nallūr for the celebration of the festivals on the day of Bharaṇi in the months of Chittirai and Arpaśi for God Uttarāpatī-nāyakar and for the services including the ceremonial daily waking up (tiruveḻuchchi of another deity whose name seems to have been Kaṅgula-viḷaṅkeriḷandiāḍuvār (this is the reading of the name on the impression, though it is an obscure name) on the representation of Cheḻiyapiḷḷai who is referred to as our son (nam magaṉ). The land was granted as kuḍi-nīṅgā-dēvadāna (God's land where the cultivators were not removed but retained). ⟨Page 134⟩

Rājādhirāja (II) Year 13, Simha ba. 9, Wednesday. 1

This incomplete inscription of which the beginnings and ends of the lines as also the continuation are lost, is however interesting. One lady named Tirumārviḍaṁakoṇḍāḷ, who appears to have been of a high status and who had Gaṅgarāyar of that place (iṉ-ṉila) as her guardian sold four women (of whom the names of only three are available. Two of whom were sisters and the third was the daughter of the first) whom she had inherited probably as śrī-dhanam, as her slaves (aḍiyār) to God [Tiruv]ālaṅgāḍuuḍaiya-nāyaṉār as his dēvaraḍiyār (later referred to as dēvaraḍimai) for a consideration of 700 kāśu. The document was attested to by some important officials. It also appears that the lady was made to part with (kuṭuppittamaikku) her servants as referred to above.

⟨2⟩ [ḷḷa]-paḍiyāran

The second one in Telugu characters (late) records the obeisance of [Vi]bhūti-Gauraya. ⟨Page 143⟩

The third one is a repeat of the one in Telugu characters, in Nāgarī (late)

The first piece in Telugu characters says that Ākana son of Sāmajiyya paved the āppaḷike (?) of the maṇḍapa with stone.

The Second piece in Nāgarī and Grantha characters records the obeisance of śrī-Vibhūtī-gauraya, resident of śrī-parvvata.

The third piece which has a male figure with folded hands to the proper left tells that it is the figure of Gauraya in Telugu, Nāgarī and Grantha characters. ⟨Page 144⟩

The fourth piece records of the obeisance of Vibhūti-Gaura who is stated to have been a servant in the household of Paṇḍitārādhya.

For, in Śaka 1205, in Mīna month, punarpūśam (.76) coincided with Sunday, (the 27th February, 1284 A.D. (śu. 10, .81))

In characters of about the 9th century.

States that Śrī-kaṇṭaiyyaṉ, son of Māvali-vāṇa-vichchādirar alias Puḻalammaraiyar arranged for a face to face (mugappu) hunt and during that hunt Indappaṉ son of Chētaḍiyār, a follower or servant (tamaṉ) of the household (kōyil) of Śrī-Kaṇṭayyan stabbed a tiger and that in that encounter both he and the tiger died. It is recorded that in view of this, some land (maṇ) was granted (the area and other details of the land given are not mentioned. It is likely that the field where the slab with this record is found was the plot granted). ⟨Page 150⟩
