Summary: This inscription states that in the 11th year of Nṛipatuṅgadēva, the assembly of Perumuḷai-ūr, a brahmadēya in Kākkalūr-nāḍu which was a subdivision of Īkkāṭṭukkōṭṭam, agreed to measure out a stipulated quantity of paddy and ghee for offerings to the god at Tiruvālaṅgāḍu in Paḻaiyaṉūr-nāḍu, in lieu of the interest on 108 kaḻañju of gold received by them from the queen Kāḍavaṉ-Mādēviyār. Kākkalūr and Ikkāḍu after which the territorial divisions were named are found in the Tiruvallur taluk of the Chingleput district. The record is engraved in characters of a later period after an inscription of Tribhuvanachakravarttin Kōṉēriṉmaikoṇḍāṉ, who, from the royal secretary Mīṉavaṉ Mūvēndavēḷāṉ mentioned in it, may be identified with Kulōttuṅga-Chōḷa III, and has therefore to be presumed to be a copy. Paḻaiyaṉūr in Paḻaiyaṉūr-nāḍu is identical with the village of the same name close to Tiruvālaṅgāḍu in the Tiruttani division of the Chittoor district. The Tiruvālaṅgāḍu plates of the Chōḷa king Rājēndra-Chōḷa I record the grant of this village to the Śiva temple at Tiruvālaṅgāḍu. In the Tēvāram hymns this latter place is called Paḻaiyaṉūr-Ālaṅgāḍu (i.e. Ālaṅgāḍu near Paḻaiyaṉūr).

Commentary

(1) koṉirupatuṅkatevarkku. This form of name for the king is unusual and was probably introduced when the inscription was re-engraved in the reign of Kulōttuṅga-Chōḷa III.
