Summary: This inscription of the 6th year of Kōpperuñjiṅgadēva records a gift of 4 mā of garden land called ‘Aḻagiyapallavaṉ-tōppu,’ in Ūṟṟukkuṟuchchi alias Ādaṉūr in Kūḍal-nāḍu, by Āḷappiṟandāṉ Aḻagiyaśīyaṉ Kōpperuñjiṅgaṉ of Kūḍal in Kīḻ-Āmūrnāḍu, a subdivision of Tirmuṉaippāḍi, for supplying arecanuts, flower-garlands, etc., to the god at Tirumudukuṉṟam in Paruvūr-kūṟṟam, a subdivision of Iruṅgōḷappāḍi in Mēṟkā-nāḍu, situated in Virudarājabhayaṅkara-vaḷanāḍu.

The village Ādaṉūr may be identified with one of the two villages of the same name in the Vriddhachalam taluk. Kūḍal, the native place of Kōpperuñjiṅgadēva, is probably identical with Kūḍalūr i.e., Cuddalore in the South Arcot District. The garden Aḻagiyapallavaṉ-tōppu must have been so called after the surname of the chief. It may be pointed out that Kōpperuñjiṅga II also bore this surname.¹

For the astronomical details given in the inscription there is only one tallying date between A.D. 1220 and 1260, viz. A.D. 1234, March 22, Wednesday. It is doubtful whether the regnal year is correctly quoted here.

Language: Tamil (tam).
