Following a brief version of the king's eulogy is mentioned a gift of land, by a Paṇṇaṉ Chaturasaṅgātaṉ, for feeding annually 1000 devotees including śivayōgis and tapasvis, in the temple of Tirukkaṟṟaḷi-Mahādēva at Tirumaṇañjēri, a part (pāl) of Gaṅgaikoṇḍachōḻa-chaturvēdimaṅgalam in Kuṟukkai-nāḍu in Rājēndrasimha-vaḷanāḍu, on the occasion of the Paṅguni-uttiram festival. The land located at Mūlaṅguḍi in Nallāṟṟūr-nāḍu, which was a dēvadāna of the temple, had been reclaimed from an uncultivable garden land.

Chōḻa, Rājakēsarivarman Rājādhirāja I, 27th year Rhishabha, ba. di. 6, Thursday, Śravaṇa = A.D. 1045, May 9, Thursday.

The mahāsabhā of Gaṅgaikoṇḍchōḻa-chaturvēdimaṅgalam sold some land to the temple of Tirumaṇañjēri after making it tax-free dēvadāna, for which they received money from the temple. One Ñānaśivar was asked to take possession of the land and arrange for the stipulated services.

Chōḻa, Parakēsarivarman Vikramachōḻa, 5th year, Makara, sudi. 10, Wednesday, Mṛigaśīra = A.D. 1123, February 7, Wednesday.

Sale of land by the mahāsabhā of Karikālachōḻa-chaturvēdimaṅgalam in Kuṟukkai-nāḍu of Virudarājabhayaṅkara-vaḷanāḍu on the north bank, which assembled at the temple of Karikālachōḻa-viṇṇagar-Āḻvār in the village. The sale was made to pay off some tax arrears of those landholders of the village who left the village without paying their land dues. The land was purchased by a Pūṇḍi-uḍaiyāṉ Uyyavandāṉ Ñānaśivar for instituting some services in the temple praying for the health of the king (tiruvāymoḻindaruḷum tirumēni) and his family.

Chōḻa, Rājakēsarivarman Kulōttuṅga I, 8th year = A.D. 1078.

The king's eulogy is given in lines 1-44. States that at the request of Muṉaiyadaraiyar, the king ordered for the proper arrangement of the different services in the temple using the income of some tirunāmattukkāṇi land at Uttaṅguḍi alias Kōṭṭaiyūr in Kuṟukkai-nāḍu in Virudarājabhayaṅkara-vaḷanāḍu. It is said that until the current year there was no inscription and proper record of the services that depended on the income. On representation (viṇṇappam) regarding this by Muṉaiyadaraiyar the king issued the relevant order to set it right. The tirumandira-ōlai, Vikkiramasiṅga-Viḻupparaiyar wrote the royal order and the purvuvari-tiṇaikkaḷa-nāyagam Nittavinōda-Mūvēndavēḷāṉ got it inscribed on stone.

This is the decision taken in a meeting of the Uḍaiyapirāṭṭiyār (Queen Dowager), obviously the one mentioned in the previous inscription, the officers, Pichchaṉ Ārūraṉ Kambaṉ who made the temple of Tirumaṇañjēri in stone and the sabhā's representative (savai kaṇkāṇi), in relation to the arrangement of various daily services in the temple, like midnight food offering, the recitation of tiruppadiyam, the cleaning of the temple, the making of flower garlands, the maintenance of the musicians. From the similarity of contents, this inscription has to be considered a sequel and continuation of the previous inscription.

Pūṇḍiyuḍaiyāṉ Viśvēsuradēvaṉ, the māṭāpatyam of the temple who had kāṇi in this land made it a tirunāmattukkāṇi. Some other land which he got in ōlai-iḻavu-kaiyīḍu from Udaiyaṅguḍaiyār and others (line 6-7) is also mentioned but the context is not clear as the end portion is broken.

She further renovated a monastery (guhai) called Ālālasundara for the use of Pugalivēndar of Pūṇḍi.

Badly worn out. The sabhā of a Chaturvēdimaṅgalam (name lost) is said to have made some temple land tax-free in lieu of some money that they had borrowed from the temple in the 15th year of Vikrama-chōḻa, that is in 1133. Most probably the purpose of the earlier borrowal was to pay off tax arrears (See No. 4 for comparison).

Restoration of some land as ūrkīḻ-iṟaiyili to the temple of Tiruvajanīśvaram-uḍaiyār at Tiruppanandāḷ on king's order to the sabhā of the place. It seems the land had been assigned for the enjoyment of the sabhā's magaṉār (chief servant ?) until the 15th year (of the previous king). The tirumandira-ōlai Paṉaiyūr-uḍayāṉ wrote the royal order and the other official signatories were Vayirādarāyaṉ, Virāḍarājaṉ and Toṇḍaimāṉ.

Chōḻa, Rājakēsarivarman Kulōttuṅga I, 29th year = A.D. 1099.

Registers the sale by a temple priest (Śivabrāhmaṇa) of his right of worship to recoup a portion of money which he had misappropriated from the temple treasury (in the form of gold and silver ornaments, bronze utensils, etc.). He and several others of his colleagues had been habitual offenders since long as known from previous official investigations carried out respectively by Rājarāja-mūvēndavēḷār, the Sēnāpati Pallavarājar and the Sēnāpati Nandiyarājar in the 3rd year of Adhirājēdra (1070), and in the 8th and 21st years of the present king (1078 and 1091 respectively). On the present occasion while the king visited the temple for worship he was informed about the disruption of services due to the misappropriation of the temple funds by the Śivabrāhmaṇas and thereupon he ordered for the recovery of the pilfered property.

This is related to the above inscription and seems to be in continuation of the above one as it abruptly begins with the year 29th of the king, obviously Kulōttuṅga I (1099). It records similar sales of their right of worship by five other temple priests on account of similar misappropriations.

The characters of the inscription belong to the eleventh century. In fact it is stated at the end that this is a copy of an earlier stone inscription. A woman called Chandippeliyār purchased land from the sabhā of Tiribuvanamādēvi-chaturvēdimaṅgalam as ūrkīḻ-iṟaiyili and endowed it for offerings and a lamp, to the temple of Tiruvaigāvuḍaiya-Mahādēva.

A woman called Andappulaperumāḷ wife of Anapāyavaṇukkaṉ and her daughter had to sell their dēvadāna land in Edirilichōḻa-nallūr, measuring one vēli and odd, and two houses for 28,800 kāsu for paying off the arrears of the taxes due on their holding. For the sale, one Chērapāṇḍiyan Tambirān-aṇukkaṉ acted as the male guardian (mudukaṇ). The default in the payment was found out by Piḷḷai Muṉaiyadaraiyar who was in charge of the temple lands, by auditing the accounts from the 24th to 33rd year (of the king).

Vijayanagara, Dēvarāya-Mahārāya, Śaka 1351, Saumya, Vṛśchika, badi 10, Monday, Hasta = A.D. 1429, October 21, Monday.

This is said to be a solidarity (orimai) deed made by a big assembly of the sabhaiyār of Śrī-parāntaka-nāḍu of Iṉṉambar-nāḍu a unit of Vikkiramachōḻa-vaḷanāḍu on the north bank and and the valaṅgai-98 and the iḍaṅgai-98 communities opposing the unjust taxation of the government and the exploiting nature of the jīvitam holders. The assembly decided that hereafter they should not yield to the official and other exploitation and should pay the government taxes (irājagaram iṟai-muṟaimai) on their land and on various professions as fixed in this meeting. The detailed enumeration of the rates of taxes is given. It is said that the assembled members came to the decision encouraged by an earlier revolt of their brethren elsewhere in several nāḍus of Vaḻudalampaṭṭu Uchāvaḍi. To celebrate the solidarity achievement, the assembly decided to institute a service named Periyanāṭṭāṉ-sandhi in the temple of Tiruvaigāvuḍaiya-nāyaṉār (where the inscription is put up) with income from a vēli of land in each of the temple villages (taḷigai ūr).

Incomplete. Three individuals were in default in payment of their kaḍamai and kuḍimai on their dēvadāna kāṇi holdings from the 24th to 33rd year of the king. Hence they had to sell their land to the temple of Tiruvaigāvūr as tirunāmattukkāṇi and deposited the money from the sale proceeds in the temple treasury itself. The tax arrears were fixed by the officer Piḷḷai Muṉaiyadaraiyar (see 57 above). Similar to the transactions mentioned in 57 and 58 above.

There is mix-up of two different inscriptions in this. The first five lines give a part of the meykkītti of Rājēndra I. The remaining lines (starting from the second half of line 5) form the actual document belonging to the time of Kulōttuṅga III (also known as Vīrarājēndra). The king made the village of Vīrarājēndra-nallūr measuring 52 and odd vēli as tax-free dēvabhōga to the Mahādēva temple of Tirunallūr. It is said that this village which should have been a part of Vikkiramachōḻa-vaḷanāḍu by some mistake was now lying as part of Kiḍāraṅgoṇḍachōḻavaḷanāḍu and on representation of the piḍāraṉ (a temple official) of the above temple, the king ordered for the restoration of the previous status of the village. Several officials are found to be involved in the transaction.

Chōḻa, Rājarāja III, 17th year = A.D. 1233.

On king's order the dēvadāna land that was held as cultivation lease (uḻavaḍai) by a Kurugāḍi-Kiḻaiyān Kūttan who married the sister of Kiḷinallūr-kiḻavan Āḍavallāṉ, was sold in royal auction (Rājarāja-peruvilai) and the sale amount was deposited in the government treasury. It is said that the sale was made according to a royal order which said that since Kiḷinallūr-kiḻavaṉ had become a traitor all his and his relatives' properties including their kāṇi and slaves should be sold off in public auction under the supervision of the officials Jinattaraiyaṉ and the puravuvari-sīkaraṇanāyagam Paḻaiyanūr-uḍaiyāṉ. The land sold in the present instance was in Vaṇṇam alias Madurāntaka-nallūr, a tirunāmattukkāṇi village of the temple of Kārkōṭīśvaram in Viṟai-kūṟṟam of Vikramachōḻa-vaḷanāḍu.

The peruṅguṟi-perumakkaḷ of Kāmaravalli-chaturvēdimaṅgalam met at the temple of Kayilāsamuḍaiyār in the village and decided to pay taxes themselves on some temple land. In case some persons transgressed this decision they were liable to pay each a sum of 100 poṉ individually to the king (chakravatti) towards the kaṟpūravilai. The first line contains the Sanskrit passage usually found on the seal of the king's copper plate grants. The writing has many errors.

It was decided for the purpose to collect one kuṟuṇi of paddy from each mā of all the cultivated land in the village and also to collect an uḻakku of oil from each house of the Veḷḷāḷas in the main village as well as in the hamlets. The concerned vāriyam has to take itself the responsibility of the collections.

The record gives the details of the land possessions of a maṭha called Tiruñānasambandaṉ-tirumaḍam received from the temple and maintained by a devotee called Kuṉṟaṉ Kiḻāṉ Tirunāvukkarasudēvaṉ from Ūṟṟukkāṭṭu-kōṭṭam in Jayaṅgoṇḍachōḻa-maṇḍalam. The latter gave some land to the temple in exchange for the above. He also added much to the landed properties of the maṭha by purchase and gift. He appealed to its future caretakers not to misuse the properties by any means, even if ordered so by the temple trustees and the government officials.

Chōḻa, [Parāntaka I], 23rd year = A.D. 930.

The inscription is dated in the 23rd year of some king whose name is lost. Most probably he is a Parakēsarivarman and from the high regnal year he is identified with Parāntaka I. This interesting record tells that the sabhā of the village sold the water rights of an irrigation tank to Chembiyaṉ Vēdivēḷār for 410 kaḻañju of gold. The latter was given the right to construct a sluice from a kaṇṇāṟu (branch channel) and take water for irrigating his lands. It was however clarified that the water rights of the old landowers should not be affected. The sale was made for paying back some loan due to the temple of Kayilāyam in Tiruveḷḷaṟai. The loan (of 30 kaḻañju of gold) was originally taken by a Tāyanīli and by default it became three-fold. Then the right on the loan was transferred to the present temple by some individuals (who perhaps got it from Tāyanīli).
