The non-availability of visual documentation prevents a faithfull representation of the spelling, due to the inprecise extant editions. Some Grantha characters and initial vowels might be unmarked.

The word tilata is a tadbhava of the Sanskrit tilaka.

avippulam. notes that this word means literally "oblation field" and that [t]he produce from this field was evidently used for oblations.

īḻa-viḷakku. refers to EI 7, p. 134, for the explanation of this word.
