Summary: This record is dated in the 19th year of Jaṭāvarmaṉ Sundara-Chōḷapāṇḍya. It states that 2 vēli of land which had been granted as dēvadāna to the temple of Kayilāsamuḍaivār at Nigariliśōḻa-chaturvēdimaṅgalam by the Chōḷapāṇḍya viceroy and which had been constituted into a separate revenue unit under the name of Śivapādaśēkharanallūr had originally been taken over for cultivation by the ūrār who had the kāṇi right over Kallūr in Mēlvēmba-nāḍu, a subdivision of Muḍigoṇḍaśōḻavaḷanāḍu. But as they were unable to pay the taxes thereon, they relinquished their cultivation rights in favour of the dēvakaṉmis of the temple, who now took over the lands, and gave an undertaking to the Puravari-tiṇaikkaḷattār and the Varippottagamuḍaiyār, the revenue officials, not to interfere in any matter whatsoever with the lands in future.

The record is connected with No. 157 above in its subject matter.

Language: Tamil (tam).
