Summary: This Veṭṭeḻuttu inscription of the 16th regnal year of Śaḍaiya-Māṟaṉ states that Iruppaikkuḍi-Kiḻavaṉ dismantled the old bund of the tank, strengthened it with stone and renovated a specified length of the bund. The tank was called Kiḻavaṉēri after the name of the benefactor. A verse at the end of the record is in praise of this Kiḻavaṉ of Iruppaikkuḍi in Iruñjōḻa-nāḍu. This chieftain figures in another record dated in the 18th year of the reign of the same king from this same village. (No. 44 below), and in the Tiruchchendūr inscription of Varaguṇa-Mārāya (No. 16-A above).
