## 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.
