Records that Nakkaṉ Kōdai alias Kāñchīpuranaṅgai, who is described as the daughter of the god of the temple of Tiruvēgambam-uḍaiya-Mahādēvar i.e., a dancing girl of the above temple at Kāñchīpuram, a nagaram in Eyiṟ-kōṭṭam (a subdivision) of Jayaṅkoṇḍachōḻa-maṇḍalam deposited gold (amount not specified) with the ūrār of Igaṇaiyūr, a dēvadāna village of the temple of Tiruvoṟṟiyūr for providing food offerings every year on the occasion of pudiyidu (fresh harvest) to the temple of Tiruvoṟṟiyūr. The ūrār agreed to measure out 25 kalam of paddy as interest every year, which was to be utilized for providing food offerings to the deities, Kārāṇaiviṭaṅka-dēvar, Kshētrapāladēvar, Sūryadēvar, Ariñjīśvaram-uḍaiyār, Kampēśvaram-uḍaiyār, Duṟgaiyār and Aṇukkappiḷḷaiyār. Provision was also made to provide for the maintenance of various personnel i.e., persons who recite tiruppadiyam, Sāmavēda, stōtram, mēykīrtti and Śivadharma. And also for persons who were to bring water for bathing the deity, persons who supply various items required for worship, dancing girls and others.
