The subjoined fragments contain the following dates and names:— No. 106 is dated in “the forty-first year of Tribhuvanachakravartin, the illustrious Rājarāja-deva,”¹ and No. 103 in the Dhālu year, which was current after the expiration of the Śaka year 1258. No. 100 begins with the name of “Sakalalokachakravartin Rājanārāyaṇa Śambova.”² Nos. 104 and 105 mention Gāṅgeya-nallūr, alias Śrī-Mallinātha-chaturvedi-maṅgalam, and according to No. 102, Gā[ṅgeya-nallūr] was a village in Karaivaṛi-Āndi-nāḍu,³ (a division) of [Pa]ḍuvūr-koṭṭam. Other localities mentioned in the subjoined fragments are: Paḍaivīḍu,⁴ Kāṭṭuppāḍi⁵ and Kaṟugeri in No. 103, and Aṇaippāḍi in No. 104.
