## Summary

The subjoined inscription records a remission of taxes by
Aḻagiya-Pallavaṉ. This chief bore the same surname as Aḻagiya-Śōḻaṉ, a
feudatory of Rājarāja III.,[1] and accordingly seems to have been a
member of the Śeṅgēṇi family.[2] The inscription refers to the 3rd year
of the reign of Vijaya-Gaṇḍagōpāladēva. Three inscriptions at
Kāñchipuram are dated in the Śaka year 1187 and in the 15th and 16th
years of Tribhuvanachakravartin Vijaya-Gaṇḍagōpāladēva,[3] who is
perhaps identical with the former king.

## Translation by Hultzsch 1899

Hail ! Prosperity ! We, Aḻagiya-Pallavaṉ Edirili-Śōḻa-Śambuvarāyaṉ, have
ordered that, from the third year (of the reign) of
Vijaya-Gaṇḍagōpāladēva, if taxes and revenue due to us are levied,
(these) taxes and revenue have to be levied after remission of one
sixteenth and one fifth, to the extent of the full amount which had not
been (levied) in former times.
