Commentary
Compare with INSTamilNadu00045, of similar content, of the time of Poṉparappināṉ alias Rājarāja. It is not clear if the maṇḍapa referred to in both inscriptions is the same one as INSTamilNadu00045 is on the wall of the mukhamaṇḍapa and INSTamilNadu00052 on a pillar of the open maṇḍapa in front of the mukhamaṇḍapa.
