## Summary

This records an endowment of a piece of land under the tank
Tigaittiṟal-ēri by Tiruppondai-Sōmāśiyār (Sōmayāji), son of
Kumāraḍi-Bhaṭṭa-Vājabhējiyār (Vājapēyayājī) of Maṇaṟppākkam, a member of
the āḷuṅgaṇam of Rājamalla-chaturvēdimaṅgalam of Tiruvēgambapuram in
Dāmar-kōṭṭam, for the daily feeding of a Brahman at mid-day in the
temple of Śrīpondai-Perumāṉaḍigaḷ. The gift was entrusted to the
gaṇavāriya-perumakkaḷ of the temple. This is possibly an inscription of
Āditya I.

In the M.E.R. 1916, II, 8, the village has been surmised to owe its
origin to one of the Western Gaṅga kings named Rājamalla. No
inscriptions of that dynasty have however been found at this place; but
there is one actually of a Rājamalla at Vaḷḷimalai in the same district
(No. 6 of 1895).
