## Summary

On the west base of the ruined Īśvara temple.

Achchutaiyadēva-mahārāya. Ś. 1452: 1532 A.D.

The details of date given, viz., Ś. 1455, Nandana, Kaṟkaṭaka śu 7,
Monday, Uttirāḍam, are irregular. Ś. 1455 corresponding to the cyclic
year Nandana had not expired as stated in the inscription but was
current. This epigraph mentions Tirumalaidēvamahārāja, who is probably
identical with Periya Tirumalaidēva-mahārāja, the brotherin-law and
general of the king.

It records the gift of a number of taxes and levies, for worship,
services and repairs in the temple of god Śūranāyakar Tambirānār by
Vīrabhadra Mudaliyār, the [Śi]vapūjaka[r] of Kōyambēḍu, the agent of
Tirumalaidēva-mahārāja, as a dharma of lord (svāmi)
Tirumalaidēva-mahārāja. The taxes and levies mentioned are the nāṭṭāyam
and udirittīrvai from Muññūṟṟuvachchiṉmai alias Kūṉimēḍu in . . . . . .
chchiṉmai alias Ōymā-nāḍu alias Vijayarājēndraśōḻa-valanāḍu, the
udiri-nāṭṭāyam collected in the area up to Vēlur in the south and in the
area up to Marakkāṉam and his fief in the north, all tīrvai in force,
including those on grains such as rice and paddy, on oil and ghee, on
palm-jaggery, pepper, turmeric, betelnut, gallnut, sugar, cumin,
fenugreek-seed, mañjiliyīḻam, ginger, etc., the levy on textiles
(tuṇḍappiḍavai) in the south and the other levies on sundry articles.
