## Summary

The subjoined record of the 2+9th year of king Śaḍaiya-Māṟaṉ relates to
the purchase of a block of waste land lying fallow as puṟṟu and teṟṟi to
the west of the village, from the sabhā of Iḷaṅgōykkuḍi, and to its
being made fit for cultivation by the provision of irrigation facilities
by Pūvaṉ-Paṟaiyaṉ, who is described as one of the ‘Araiyaṉ-aṇukkar’,
belonging apparently to the king’s bodyguard. The land which was renamed
as ‘Paṟaiyaṉ-vaśakkal’ was endowed to the temple as kiḍaippuṟam.
