## Summary

Kṛishṇadēva-Mahārāya-Śaka 1444. The details of the date are given as
Chitrabhānu, Uttarāyaṇa, Makara-Saṅkramaṇa. (=AD. 1522, December 28).

The inscription registers a sarvamānya grant made to the two temples of
Aḻagiyameyyar (Vishṇu) and Tirumeyyadēvar (Śiva) at Tirumeyyam in
Kāṉanāḍu, by Chellappa Vīra Narasiṅgarāya-Nāyakkar (The kings viceroy in
the south), of all the lands in the village which had been lying as
Paṇḍāravāḍai (except those which had been already endowed as
tiruviḍaiyāṭṭam or dēvadāna). As was the case with regard to all lands
possessed by these two temples in common, the income derived from the
present lands was also to be shared by them in the proportion of three
and two respectively.
