## Summary

In the 9th year of king Pārthivēndravarman, the residents (ūrōm) of
Aṇai-Akkaraippūdūr made tax-free certain lands which had been already
dedicated to the śrīkōyil of Ādityadēva in that village, which was owned
by Vaikhānasaṉ Kalinīkki-bhaṭṭa.

We have here the residents (ūrōm) taking the place of sabhaiyōm of other
inscriptions. A technical distinction was perhaps made between these two
bodies.[1]

## Translation by Krishna Sastri 1920

Hail ! Prosperity ! In the 9th year (of the reign) of king
Pārthivēndravarman, we the residents (ūrōm) of Aṇai-Akkaraippūdūr made
tax-free the four taḍi of land and the well without excluding (any)
in-lying land (and) gave (as) archchanābhōga to this Ādityadēva, as long
as the moon and the sun (exist), in the village-site (nattam) of
Puḻidikkālneṭṭūr which had been (already) given as archchanābhōga to
(the temple of) Ādityadēva of (i.e., worshipped by) Vaikhānasaṉ
Kalinīkkibhaṭṭa of our village, by Śēruppōśaṉ Eḻuvaṉ, (his) brothers and
(his) junior uncle. We gave (further) as archchanābhōga to this god (the
fields) Dēvakuṭṭai and Uṇaṅgaṟppiḍi in the cultivable land of our
village and a house south of this sacred temple (śrīkōyil). (To)
Kalinīkki-bhaṭṭa who worships this god. . . .

## Commentary
