## Summary

Like the above this is also evidently an inscription of Sundara-Chōḷa,
because of its high regnal year and similarity of writing. It registers
the gift of the vālamañji (income derived) from the tank called
[Ti]kkiri-ēri in the village Kīraippāttūr (Kirappākkam) which belonged
to Kumārandai Irāvaṇaṉ of Nāyaṟu in Nāyaṟunāḍu, a subdivision of
Puḻar-kōṭṭam by his wife Kaṇḍi, who should have inherited his property,
in favour of the ūrār of the village for the (improvement of the) tank.
This vālamañji is probably the same as the fee or toll vālamañjāḍi
mentioned in the Kōnērirājapuram inscription of Madhurāntaka
Uttama-Chōḷa (S.I.I. III, p. 311) and in the Tiruvālaṅgāḍu Plates
(ibid., pp. 391 and 436).
