                            <p>This fragment, which is dated in the fifteenth year of <hi rend="bold">Ko-Parakesarivarman</hi>, contains an agreement made by the inhabitants of some village, who had received a certain sum of money from “the large holy stone-temple (<hi rend="italic">i.e.</hi>, the Rājasiṁhavarmeśvara Temple) at <hi rend="bold">Kachchippeḍu</hi> (<hi rend="italic">i.e.</hi>, Kāñchīpuram).” From the interest of this sum, they pledged themselves to supply ghee for a lamp at the rate of 1 <hi rend="italic">uṛakku</hi> per day or 7 <hi rend="italic">nāṛis</hi> and 1 <hi rend="italic">uri</hi> per mensem.<note>As 1 <hi rend="italic">nāṛi</hi> is equal to 4 <hi rend="italic">uṛakkus</hi> or 2 <hi rend="italic">uris</hi>, 30 <hi rend="italic">uṛakkus</hi> are exactly equal to 7 <hi rend="italic">nāṛis</hi> and 1 <hi rend="italic">uri</hi>.</note> The measure to be used was a <hi rend="italic">nāṛi</hi>, which was equal to a <hi rend="italic">rājakesari</hi>.<note>The same measure is mentioned in line 4 of the fragment No. 146, and probably in line 13 of No. 150.</note> As the <hi rend="bold">Choḷa</hi> kings alternately bore the surnames <hi rend="bold">Rājakesarin</hi> and <hi rend="bold">Parakesarin</hi>,<note>See lines 18 to 20 of the large Leyden grant in Dr. Burgess' <hi rend="italic">Arch. Survey of S. India</hi>, Vol. IV, p. 206. The rule holds good in the case of the two kings <hi rend="bold">Rājarāja-deva</hi> and <hi rend="bold">Rājendra-Choḷa-deva</hi>, Nos. 10 and 11 of the table on page 112, above.</note> it must be assumed, that this measure was called after one of the predecessors of the king, to whose reign the inscription belongs. The writer of the inscription was the village-headman <hi rend="bold">Nāga Alappaḍi</hi>.<note>Compare the village-headman <hi rend="bold">Alappaḍi</hi> in No. <ref target="DHARMA_INSSIIv01p0i0084">84</ref>.</note></p>
