## Summary

These two complementary inscriptions are dated in the 22nd year of an
unspecified king who was evidently Jaṭāvarmaṉ Śrīvallabha. One of them
is an order (ōlai) issued by Kāliṅgarājaṉ to the Śrīvaishṇavas of the
temple intimating the fact that the lands mentioned in No. 254 above
belonging to the Chakkrattāḻvār temple were made tax-free, and the
second gives publicity to this exemption granted on these lands.
