Alternative title: No. 222. (A.R. No. 222 of 1912.) TIRUVOṞṞIYŪR, SAIDAPET TALUK, CHINGLEPUT DISTRICT. On the east, north and west bases of the Naṭarāja shrine, Ādhipurīśvara temple.

Summary: King: Rājēndracōḻa (Kulōttuṅga I) Year: ⎯⎯

Beginning of the line is built in. The available portion begins with kuñjara = kkuḻām of the king’s mēykīrtti, Tirumaṉṉu viḷaṅgum irukuvaḷaṉaiyadaṉ.

It registers a sale of two vēli of land as iṟai-ili dēvadāna by the peruṅkuṟimahāsabhās of Sundarachōḷa-chaturvēdimaṅgalam and Vāṉavanmādēvichaturvēdimaṅgalam of Puḻal-nāḍu to the temple in Tiruvoṟṟiyūr in Puḻal-nāḍu in Puḻal-kōṭṭam after receiving both the price-money and capital against taxes, from the temple treasury.

It appears that the yield of this land was intended to contribute for the provision of food offerings to the deity when the deity was pleased come down to the maṇḍapa on the occasion of tiruvēṭṭai (royal hunt festival) in the puraṭṭādi month, for the honouring of the god and consort with headgear (tiruppariśaṭṭam) and for feeding the attending devotees and other mendicants.

Udaiyādittan kṛamavittaṉ of Veṟpuṟam drafted this agreement at the behest of Gaṇavadi kṛamavittaṉ of Veṟpuram, Marāṭṭam Paḷḷichchīriḷaṅgō kṛamavittaṉ, and Kummaṇḍali Udayāditta kṛamavittaṉ.
