The gifted land is said to have been purchased and given to the tāṉattār of the temple. Kaḷappirāṉ the nephew of Raṅganātha-piḷḷai, the nāṭṭūkkaṇakku, seems to have drafted the document. ## Palaeographic description The inscription is filled with symbols and abbreviations. The same abbreviation seems to be used for ṟ=ṟa and t=ta. The abbreviations for yu=M seems to be used for ya=M as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## Edition ⟨Page 1r⟩ ⟨1r1=1⟩ ௳ Āṟumukaneripaṭṭaiyam cuvatti* cālivāka⟨1r2=2⟩ṉa cakāt=tam 1 1000 6 100 10 9 kku * cellā niṉra ⟨1r3=3⟩ kollam 8 100 7 10 2 * yīcupā * vaiyakāci * ⟨1r4=4⟩ 10 4 ** titi pūṟuva-paṭcat=til t=tiri-tikaiyu=M cikkiṟa-vāra⟨1r5=5⟩mum cupa-yōkamum cupa-karaṇamum peṟ=ṟa miṟika-cīraṣa⟨1r6=6⟩naṭccet=tirat=til nāl-c ceyta taṉma-cātaṉa-p-paṭ⟨1r7=7⟩ṭaiya=Mmāvatu kuṭaṉāṭāṉ tiruccentūr centi ⟨1r8=8⟩ māṉakarattilirunkkum cuppiramī⟨māṉya⟩yac=vi⟨cuvāmi⟩ kōvi=L t=tala⟨1r9=9⟩t=tāril nārayaṇa pi=Lḷai Uṭaiyār pi=Lḷaiyeṉ kīḷ vem⟨1r10=10⟩{punāṭā}pu-nāṭāṉ tirunelveli yiruk=kum yiLaiya pe⟨1r11=11⟩rumāḷ pi=Lḷai cuntara-t-toḷ-pi=Lḷaikku taṉma-cātaṉa-p-paṭṭai⟨1r12=12⟩ya=M yeḷuti-k kuṭu¡ṟ=ṟa!⟨tta⟩ paricāvatu (ku)ruk=kaḷukku-p puṇṇiyamāka⟨1r13=13⟩vum r=a|⟨rāja⟩ taḷavāy naracappayyaṉ avarkaḷuk=ku-p puṇṇiyam⟨1r14=14⟩ākavu=M vaṭamalaiyappa-p-pi=Lḷaiyeṉ (X)k=ku-p puṇṇiyamāka⟨1r15=15⟩vu=M muṟuṉāyakam pi=Lḷaik=kupuṇṇiyamākavum tirucce⟨1r16=16⟩ntūr c=vi⟨cuvāmi⟩ kōvi-L pōt=timā=r tāṉattā=r talattā=r muta⟨1r18=18⟩lāṉa perukaḷuk=ku p-puṇṇiyamākavu=M c=vi⟨cuvāmi⟩ cuppiramī⟨māṉya⟩ya ⟨1r19=19⟩ c=vi⟨cuvāmi⟩ kōvi=L-k-kaṭ=ṭaḷai naṭakkum pa=ṭik=ku yivarkaḷuk=ku nāṉ ⟨1r20=20⟩ viṭṭu k-kuṭu¡ṟ=ṟa!⟨tta⟩ nilam āvatu eṉ nilamaiyāṉa Āṟumukane⟨1r21=21⟩riyai viṭṭukkuṭut=ta paṭiyiṉālē yitaṟk=ku kiṟaiya=M niṣ⟨1r22=22⟩cciyat=tukku * 100 5 Ūcikkāntam * Āka nū¡t=ti!⟨ṟṟi⟩ ⟨1r23=23⟩ Añcu poṉṉum Oru paṇam yin=ta poṉ * 100 5 ⟨1r24=24⟩ * (O)ṉ=ṟuk=ku nāṉ viṭṭu-k kuṭutta Ārumukanerikku E⟨1r25=25⟩lkakaiyāvatu coṇaka-paṭ=ṭaṇattār Elkai pa=ṭi ⟨1r26=26⟩ teṉvaṭal Oṭiya pātaiku mēkku teṉ Elkai ⟨1r27=27⟩ māyakkūt=tar tiruviḷaiyāṭ=ṭam maṉakkaṭu cīṉan ⟨1r28=28⟩ toppu Elkaikkum vaḷḷivākkāluk=kum kiḷak=ku ⟨1r29=29⟩ vaṭa Elkai yāvatu coṇakapaṭ=ṭaṉat=tār Elkai ⟨1r30=30⟩ kīḷmelloṭiya pātaikku tek=ku Āka yiṉṉāṉȧṅ⟨1r31=31⟩ku Elkaikkuḷ p-paṭ=ṭa nañcey puñcey palapaṭ=ṭa⟨1r32=32⟩ṭai coṉṉā(kū)mum mēl nōkkiyamāmum kī⟨1r33=33⟩ḷ nōkkiya kiṇaṟum niti-nicciya-mutalāṉatu⟨1r34=34⟩kk’ ellām yivarkaḷē yōkkiyamāka Āccant⟨1r35=35⟩rākkam cantira-p-pirṟavēcam Aṉupavi¡ṟ=ṟu!⟨ttu⟩ k-koṇ⟨1r36=36⟩ṭu cuvāmikku k-kaṭ=ṭaḷai naṭat=tiviccu-k koḷvarā⟨1r37=37⟩kavu=M yin=ta taṟnattai yātām Oruvar paripālaṉa=M ⟨1r38=38⟩ paṇṇiṉa perkaḷ Acupameta-yākam paṇṇiṉa ⟨1r39=39⟩ palattai p=peṟuvarākavu=M yin=ta taṟma¡ṟ=ṟu!⟨t=tu⟩kku Akut=ta⟨1r40=40⟩m paṇṇiṉa perkaḷ keṅkai-k-karaiyi=L kāram pa⟨1r41=41⟩cuvai k=koṉṟa tocattil p-pōvarākavu=M yi ⟨1r42=42⟩ ppa=ṭikku c-cammati¡ṟ=ṟu!⟨ttu⟩ yin=ta taṟma-cātaṉa-p-paṭṭai ⟨1r43=43⟩ yam yeḷuti k=kuṭuttōm talat=tāril narāyaṇapiL⟨1r44=44⟩ḷai Uṭaiyar pi-Lḷaiyēṉ yiḶaiya perumāḷ piLḷai ⟨1r45=45⟩ cuntara-t-toḷ piLḷaik=ku yipa=ṭik=ku narāyaṇa piLḷai ⟨1r46=46⟩ Uṭaiyar pi=Lḷai yipa=ṭik=ku yivarkaḷ colla yin=ta ⟨1r47=47⟩ taṟma-cātaṉa-paṭṭaiyam Eḷutiṉē nāṭṭukaṇakku ⟨1r48=48⟩ Iraṅkunāta pu=Lḷai marumakaṉ kaḷḷappirāṉ Eḷu ⟨1r49=49⟩ ¡ṟ=ṟu!⟨ttu⟩ yippa=ṭi Aṟivēṉ nayiṉāpi=Lḷai . ## Translation ⟨1–2⟩ .... ## Bibliography Reported in ARIE 1986–87(ARIE/1986-1987/A/1986-1987/60).
