Summary: This is an inscription of Rājarāja I (see 10th piece) consisting of many disconnected fragments. We can however make out that this records an order of Śembiyaṉ-Mahādēviyār, the mother of Uttama-Chōḷa, specifying in great detail the various expenses of worship and offerings in the temple (of Śoṉṉavāṟaṟivār) stated to have been built by her, for which due provision was made by her by endowment of lands. The order apportioning these lands for the specifled requirements was given effect to by three officers Sāramuḍaiyāṉ Araṭṭaṉ Īkkāḍudēvaṉ of the Mūttaparivāram (senior establishment ?), Appūr-Uḍaiyāṉ Āchchaṉ Paṭṭālakaṉ in the Iḷaiyavagai (Junior staff ?) and Āchchaṉ Kampaṉ alias Tirukkaṟṟaḷippichchaṉ of Tirumaṇañjēri. The items of service included the recitation of Tiruppadiyam Talavakāra-Sāmavēda, Taittirīya-Vēda and Chandōga Sāmavēda before the deity, for which twenty-five Brahmans were appointed. Mention is also made of worship to a deity called Amarabhujaṅgadēva in the temple.
