Summary: This damaged inscription registers the kaḍaiyīḍu granted by the officer (mudaliyār) Ilāḍattaraiyar under the following circumstances: Owing to some offence of . . . . . Brahmārāyaṉ, his lands measuring 34 mā in extent were ordered to be sold in the 15th year and 295th day of the rule of the chief. According to the decision of the officer mentioned above to sell these lands to temples which had surplus money left, the temple of Tuvarāpati-Emberumāṉ purchased them for 20,000 kāśu from the amount provided for buying ornaments to the god Maṉṉaṉār. On the representation of the trustees of the temple that the planting of boundary stones and the engraving of this transaction on temple walls had not yet been carried out, Ilāḍattaraiyar now issued a kaḍaiyīḍu for completing the procedure. The document is signed by the accountant Ālattuḍaiyāṉ and Umiyūr Tiruveṇkāḍu-Bhaṭṭaṉ.
