## Summary

PAṬṬATTĀḶMAṄGALAM GRANT OF NANDIVARMAN: 61ST YEAR.

Like the previous record, this is also engraved in Grantha and Tamil
characters. It is dated in the 61st year of Vijaya-Nandivikramavarman
and registers a grant of 16 vēli of land which, together with the 24
vēli granted previously, was constituted into a village under the name
Paṭṭattāḷmaṅgalam and given to a number of Brāhmaṇas at the instance of
Maṅgala-Nāḍāḻvāṉ, an officer of the king. The ājñapti of the grant viz.,
Vijayanalluḻāṉ of Ālappākkam is identical with the person of the same
name figuring in an inscription of Nandivarman at Tiruveḷḷaṟai[1] in the
Trichinopoly district. The engraver of the grant was Śrī-Daṇḍi, son of
Viḍēlviḍugu Pallavap-peruntachchaṉ of Aimpaṉaichchēri in Kachchippēḍu.
