## Summary

This is a record of Rājarāja I. It consists of two portions, a Sanskrit
verse and a Tamil prose passage recording the same grant, viz., a gift
of 30 suvarṇas (gold coins-kaḻañju ?) by Āditya for feeding a Brāhmaṇa
in a maṭha at Gōvindapāḍi. In the Tamil portion his name and family are
detailed as Madhurāntakaṉ Āchchapiḍāraṉ, the son of Vīraśōḻa Iḷaṅgōvēḷār
of Koḍumbāḷūr in Kōnāḍu. The donor was evidently a later member of the
dynasty of Koḍumbāḷūr chiefs who were connected by ties of marriage with
the Chōḷa kings, and some of whom played an important part in the
military campaigns of Rājarāja’s predecessors against Ceylon and the
Pāṇḍyas (S.I.I. V, No. 980 and M.E.R. 1908, paras 84-91).
