Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: On the south wall of the maṇḍapa in front of the central shrine in the Naṭanapādēśvara temple.

[Jaṭāvarmaṉ Sundarapāṇḍya I]. Year 14: 1264 A.D.

This inscription is dated in the reign of Kōṉēriṉmaikoṇḍāṉ, who from the reference to Kōyilpoṉmēyndaperumāḷ and Sundarapāṇḍya in the body of the inscription, may be identical with Jaṭāvarmaṉ Sundarapāṇḍya I. This is dated in the 205th day of the 14th Year.

It records a royal order leasing out 30 vēli of land belonging to Deyvanāyakaṉ temple in Tiruvayindirapuram in Marudāḍu, a hamlet of Śōḻakulavallinallūr and Kīḻaikkēraḷāntakanallūr as kuḍinīṅgāda tiruviḍaiyāṭṭam to the chaturvēdi-bhaṭṭas of Puttuḻāṉ-Brahmadēśam in Tiruvayīndiram by Puttuḻār Tiruvaraṅgachchelvar alias Villavarāyar. The bhaṭṭas were required to measure out annually to the Deyvanāyakan temple, 20 kalam of paddy per vēli, as āyam, upādi and kaḍamai for food and other offerings to the image of god Kōyil-poṉmēynda Perumāḷ, set up by the king in his name and for offerings on the occasion of Sundarapāṇḍyaṉ sandhi for the god Deyvanāyakaṉ. Tachchaneṉmali-uḍaiyāṉ figures as the signatory of the record. The body called Iraṇḍāyiravar was entrusted with the supervision of this arrangement.

This record pertaining to the Deyvanāyakaṉ temple of Tiruvayīndiram (Tiruvēndipuram) was engraved here evidently because some of the lands under reference were situated in Śōḻakulavallinallūr, where Tirukkaṇṭhēśvaram was situated.
