## 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.
