Kuḷakkuṭi grant, Śaka year 1525 author of digital edition Margherita Trento European Research Council (ERC), grant agreement no 809994 DHARMA Aubervilliers DHARMA_INSTiruvavatuturai00030.xml CC BY-SA 4.0 2019-2026 as per external metadata This grant records donation made by the king of Arantaṅki, Rakunāta Vaṇaṅkāmuṭi Toṇṭaimāṉār. Even though the grant is dated Śaka year 1525, the plate appear to be a later copy, based on the material aspects (double line on the contours of the grant) and the paleography.

Throughout the document, va and pa are used interchangeably. There is also consistently confusion between ka and la. These and other errors, as well as the material aspects and paleography of the plate, make one suspect that this is a late copy of an earlier grant, and that the scribe could not read some of the letters in the original document.
