(Rudrōdkāri, Chittirai, 5, Wednesday, Uttirāḍam = A.D. 1323, March 30, Wednesday).

The guild of merchants of Aiññūṟṟuvar of one thousand directions, merchants of the 18 towns situated north of the Kāvēri river including Taḻaikkāḍu alias Rājarājapura and those of the 18 towns south of the same river including Muḍikoṇḍachōḻapuram alias Dēśiyuyyakkoṇḍa-paṭṭaṇa met in a grand assembly and agreed to grant income accrued on various tolls levied on merchandize traded in the locality as paṭṭaṇappakuti to the temple of Nārāyaṇa Perumāḷ also called Dēsip-perumāḷ for its maintenance and repairs. The tolls were collected in grains from thrashing fields, and money (paṇam) on commodities marketed. The various articles on which tolls imposed were pepper, areca nut, jaggery, salt, cotton, cotton cloth, silk thread, and sandal (candaṇam). The several rates of tolls on these commodities are specified.

Unfinished and seems to refer to a grant of rice for daily supply of sacred food offerings (tirup-pōṉakamamutu) to the deity Dēsip-perumāḷ in Tirumēṟkōyil temple at the village, Muḍikoṇḍachōḻapuram alias Dēśiyuyyakkoṇḍachōḻa-paṭṭaṇam in Padi-nāḍu, a subdivision of Gaṅgaikoṇḍachōḻa-vaḷanāḍu of Muḍikoṇḍachōḻa-maṇḍalam by Chokkāṇḍa Pērkaḍiyān, the kiḻāṉ of Indampēḍu.

Sōmēśvara: A.D. 1238.

(Viḷambi, Chittirai, śu., 3, Sunday, Rōhiṇi = A.D. 1238, April 18, Sunday).

Two merchants from Muḍikoṇḍam purchased a piece of land measuring 750 kuḻi, and granted to Dēsip-perumāḷ as tax free (iṟaiyili) tiruviḍaiyāṭṭam for the supply of sacred food offerings. The four Aḍaippu Mudalis of Koḷḷagar (Koḷḷēgāl) probably received the grant for maintenance. The inscription curses those who are against the purport of the grant as rājadrōhis and enemies of the country (nāṭṭup-pakaiyan). At the end of the record the following five symbols, representing mercantile guild are engraved: drum, dagger, anvil, moon and sun.

Sōmēśvara: A.D. 1250.

(Sādhāraṇa, ba., 3, Monday, Pūraṭṭādi = A.D. 1250, July 18, Monday).

Seems to refer to a sale of some plots of areca garden as tirunāmattukkāṇi to Dēśip-perumāḷ by the mahājanas of Durgaiyār Agaram in the presence of members of nagaram of Muḍikoṇḍachōḻapuram and all the local people (samasta-dēśi). The several pieces of land were earlier held by one Ayyappiḷḷai, who later turned-out to be a criminal and deserted the village. Consequently a fine was imposed on him and to realize land dues and fine, the mahājanas sold those pieces of land to the temple and agreed to pay all the taxes. The following irrigation canals and sub-canals in the locality are mentioned: Kulōttuṅga-chōḻa-vāykkāl, Madhurāntaka-vadi and Ulōgamādēvi-vadi. The obstructers of the grant were cursed as rājadhrōhi, nāṭṭup-pakaiyaṉ, vaḷañjiyap-pakaivaṉ, mārga-drōhi and grāma-drōhi.

Undated. (Kulōttuṅga I). (A.D. 1070-1120.)

It is in two fragments. The first fragment seems to have been engraved over a defaced inscription of Kulōttuṅga I with a portion of the praśasti of the king. The inscription seems to refer to a grant made for food offerings and lighting one chandhi lamp in the temple and mentions guild of Aiññūṟṟuvar. The second fragment seems to refer to some deliberations of the nagaram of Muḍikoṇḍachōḻapuram.

Ballāḷa. III: A.D. 1310.

The beginning of the inscription is lost. It refers to a perpetual gift of land measuring 300 kuli, situated close to a tank, to the temple of Muḷnāchchi by Dāsaya Nāyaka, son of Agattiyāṇḍi Nāyakkar, who was the Commander (sēṉāpati) of the Valaṅgai regiment. The tank was excavated by one Kaṇḍar, a member of Vīrachōḻa Aṇukkar and the son of Ālakkāmīṇḍāṉ. The three symbols, drum, dagger and an anvil are engraved at the bottom of the record.

Kulōttuṅga II. Undated. (1133-1150 A.D.)

Damaged, incomplete and built in at the beginning. Contains a portion of the historical introduction beginning with Pūmēvu vaḷar of Kulōttuṅga II. Seems to registers the creation of a new revenue village with the name Edirilichōḻa-chaturvēdimaṅgalam in Maṉṉi-nāḍu and the grant of it to the Mahādēvar temple at Tirundudēvaṅguḍi, in Miḻalai-nāḍu, a subdivision of Virudarājabhayaṅkara-vaḷanḍu for offerings and services in the temple. Refers to a revenue survey probably made during the 16th year of Kulōttuṅga I.

Damaged and unfinished. Records a royal order of the king regarding some lands belonging to the dēvadāna of the temple of Ambar Tirumāgāḷam Uḍaiyār in Ambar-nāḍu, a subdivision of Uyyakkoṇḍārvaḷanāḍu. The oral order was pronounced by the king on a request prefered by Nuḷambarājaṉ, while present in his throne, Vāṇādhirājaṉ, in the hall called, Rājēndrachōḻaṉ, situated on the western part of the palace at Muḍigoṇḍa Chōḻa[puram]. Since dues could not be realized from the kāṉi holder owing to some difficulties, it was requested that the land of the defaulter shall be transferred to another person for proper realization of taxes. Hence in the forty second year of the king the lands in dispute were re-assigned as kāni to Āyakkuḍaiyāṉ alias Tāṇḍaṉ and his descendants. ⟨Page 68⟩

Since the Nagaram of Ambar could not cultivate the lands situated in the village Tiruvari, an old dēvadāṉa, they preferred to gift another piece of land with the same area and in this connection the above gift was made.

Kulōttuṅga I. Year 28: A.D. 1098.

Registers a royal order of the king granting two pieces of land with a total extent of 14 (1/4) vēlis from two villages in Pāmbūr-nāḍu and Ambarnāḍu as dēvadāṉa-iṟaiyili for the conduct of festival in the month of Āvaṇi in the Mākāḷamuḍaiyār temple at Ambar, in Ambar-nāḍu, of Uyyakkoṇḍārvaḷanāḍu. The old assessment on land was revised to one hundered kalams of paddy per vēli. The revised total tax was reduced from the old rates of assessment at the ratio of 10: 6 and the total demand was fixed at 859 kalams of paddy. The royal order was signed by officers of the revenue department, Puravuvari Śrīkaraṇa Nāyagam, Puravuvari Śrīkaraṇa mugaveṭṭi and was issued to the managers (dēvakaṉmikaḷ) of the temple, māhēshvarak kaṇkāṇi, and śrīkāriyam.

The inscription is a copy of old inscriptions recording grants made during the period of Rājēndra I. The first inscription is about the grant made in the 15th year of Rājēndra I (A.D. 1027) to the goddess Umā Paramēśvari in the Mākāḷamuḍaiyār temple at Ambar for some services. The assembly of Madhurāntaka-chaturvēdimaṅgalam assigned a tax free grant of land on receipt of 30 kaḻañcus of gold on behalf of Chaṇḍēśvara in the Mākāḷamuḍaiyār temple. The second inscription, also dated in the 15th year of Rājēndra I, records another tax-free grant of land to Umā Paramēśvari by the Nagaram of Ambar on receipt of eleven kaḻañcus of gold on behalf of Chaṇḍēśvara in the same temple. Ambar is said to be ⟨Page 80⟩ a brahmadēya in Ambar-nāḍu, which was a subdivision of Uyyakkoṇḍārvaḷanāḍu.

It was stated that the disputed land was said to have been purchased by Rācavallavap Pallavaraiyar of Chiṟuvēḷūr and later returned to the temple by a release document (viḍutīṭṭu). The order was communicated by the officer Tirumandira-ōlai Rājēndrasiṅga Mūvēndavēḷāṉ and others to the authorities of the temple.

Damaged in the beginning. The inscription is connected with the previous one (No. 111) above. Registers the grant of release document (viḍu-tīṭṭu) of a piece of land as tirunāmattukkāṇi by Rācavallavap Pallavaraiyar in favour of the deity Chaṇḍēśvara in the temple of Mudupagavar at Ambar in Ambar-nāḍu. Since the land in dispute was under the enjoyment of the temple authorities till the 13th year of Kulōttuṅga III (A.D. 1191), it was deceited that the individual claimant had no moral right of possession. The document was attested by several persons.

Kōnēriṉmaikoṇḍāṉ (Māṟavarmaṉ Sundarapāṇḍya I). Year 13+1+1: A.D. 1230.

The inscription is related to No. 131 above. Though the name of the king is not mentioned in the inscription he may be identified with Sundara Pāṇḍya I with reference to the inscription since the same officer (Maḻavarāyaṉ) appear in both the inscriptions.

Records an order of the king issued to śrīkāryam and śrīvaishaṇavas in the temple of Śrivallava Viṇṇagar Ālvār on the western bank (of the Vaigai river ?), in the Chōḻakulāntaka-chaturvēdimaṅgalam in Pāgaṉūrkūṟṟam. A piece of land measuring 3(1/2) vēlis was granted as dēvadāṉa iṟaiyili for tiruppaḍimāṟṟu offerings in the temple on a representation made by Maḻavarāyaṉ. The taxes exempted are antarāyam, viṉiyōkam and mākkalam. The uḷvari was signed by three officers.
