                            <p>This record of the <hi rend="bold">22nd year,</hi> like No. 55 above, is prefaced by the remark that ‘this is also a copy of an old stone inscription’. It is preceded by a record of the Pāṇḍya king Māṟaṉ Śaḍaiyaṉ (<hi rend="italic">A.R.</hi> No. 37 of 1930-31) and followed by an epigraph of the Muttaraiyar chief Iḷaṅgō-Muttaraiyar (<hi rend="italic">A.R.</hi> No. 39 of 1930-31), all of which are engraved in continuation of one another. It has been pointed out above (No. 55) that the temple at Tirukkōḍikkāval was renovated by Śembiyaṉ-Mādēviyār, the mother of the Chōḷa king Uttama-Chōḷa and that she took care to re-engrave on the new walls the old inscriptions found in the temple.</p>						
                            
                            <p>The present record does not give the king's name, but from the mention therein of <hi rend="bold">Vīra-Mahādēviyār, the queen of Nṛipatuṅga-Mahārāja,</hi> it may be ascribed to Nṛipatuṅga himself. It gives the interesting information that this queen performed the <hi rend="italic">hiraṇyagarbha</hi> and <hi rend="italic">tulābhāra</hi> ceremonies, evidently at Tirukkōḍikkā and presented 50 <hi rend="italic">kaḻañju</hi> of gold from the wealth so weighed, to the temple of Mahādēva in the village for offerings and lamp. The assembly of Tirukkōḍikkāvu <hi rend="italic">alias</hi> Kaṇṇamaṅgalam received the money and undertook to conduct the endowment. Queen Vīra-Mahādēviyār is known to epigraphy for the first time only from this record.</p>
