## Summary

On the rock which forms the north wall of the Tirumalaikkaḍambar-temple.

Kulōttuṅga III: Year 27: 1204-05 A.D.

This inscription is dated in the regnal year of Kulōttuṅgachōḷa, who
took Madurai, the crowned head of Pāṇḍya and Kāñchi, who may be
identified with Kulōttuṅga III.

This records the gift of land (excluding land belonging to god Arhat at
Tirumāṉaimalai) with a pond made tax free, by Pāmbaiyūruḍaiyāṉ Kaḍamban
Śeṅguḍiyān Gaṅgādarar, a merchant of the place, who purchased it from
the Nagarattār of Teliṅgakulakālapura in Iraṭṭapāḍikoṇḍaśōḻa-vaḷanāḍu,
for 130 Pañchaśalāgai achchu. The land was made over as a dēvadāṉa to
god Tiruvāṉaikkā Uḍaiyār, whose image was set up by the donor.
Madhyasthan Māṇi Śōdiyāṉ Maruduḍaiyān figures as a signatory in the
record.
