Prosperity! Fortune!

24th year of the glorious king Rājendra CōḻaRājendra II Cōḻa? See mixed meykkīrtti., the Lord, aliasthe king Rājakesarivarman,

who ... [meykkīrtti of Rājendra I Cōḻa mixed the meykkīrtti of Rājendra II Cōḻa]

For the expenses aḻivukkum for the day aṟṟaikku when the Lord uṭaiyār, who is the Lord uṭaiyār of NakkaṉThe name, which literally means "the dancer girl", already indicates the service she had at the temple. Pāvai—anintimate of the king Rājendra Cōḻa—, the Lord uṭaiyār of Tirucciṟṟampalam, graciously goes in procession eḻuntaruḷumduring the sacred festival of Tiruvāṇi, that is, for the oil eṇṇaiVariant of eṇṇey. which is necessary for the sacred festival, so as to give kuṭukkavum a thousand pots of cooked rice caṭṭi-c-cōṟu to the śrīmāheśvaras, at the time when the Lord is consuming the sacred offerings, for the gold that the Lord graciously distribute vaḻaṅki aruḷum, for the expenses including garments paricaṭṭam, so that a nibandha, so described ik-kuṟitta, goes cellaThat is, "is in force"., as long as the moon and the sun, for two kācus in that manner, the land got, according to the document piramāṇam meant for for the nakaram settled ēṟiṉa under the name eṉṟu KuṇamēnakaipuramThis placename seems to be named after the apsaras Menakā (Tamil Mēṉakai)., a section pāl of Parākramacōḻanallūr in the Kiṭāraṅkoṇṭacōḻaperiḷamaināṭu“The uḻukuḍi or the tenant-cultivators were otherwise called pēriḷamai”, according to Subbarayalu, South India, p. 153. It would mean that this refers to a Brāhmaṇa settlement which was in fact a hamlet of an independent village (taṉiyūr) inhabited by these uḻukuṭi. , an eastern hamlet piṭākai of Perumpaṟṟappuliyūr, an independent town taṉiyūr in the Rājentiraciṅkaḷanāṭu is as follows: the Tokkapāṭi land nilaṉ bought in the land at Tillai-Alākanallūr: fourty seven and a half vēli, ... ... fourty four vēlis ... four thousand five hundred pots of paddy.

Among this, the paddy of the lower share mēlvāram, that is, two thousand two hundred fifty pots, these, so that ther be, for one kācu, eight pots, one tūṇi and one patakku, ... whereas there are expenses celavu āka, line 24 ...

So that there be āka, line 25 one hundred twenty kācus necessary for the expenses including garments paricaṭṭam for the customary usage vaḻakkam, necessary for the tiruvātirai festival in the month of Mārkaḻi, one hundred eighty kācus for the food-offerings, the customary garments, and the expenses including four hundred nāḻis of oil for a glorious lamp, during the tiruvāṉi festival, five kācus for those who recite the Tiruttoṇṭattokai during the tirumāci festival, thus taking/with koṇṭu three hundred and five kācus according to the so described nibandha.

The residents kuṭi, including the merchants who reside in this Kuṇamēṉakaipuram, the Veḷḷāḷars, the oil-sellers, ... and the lower … kīḻkalaṉai including the ... let them be assigned to run celutta this nibandha as long as the moon and the sun.

Whereas/So that there be a nibandha for twenty-five Brahmins who take food in the Ciṅkaḷāntakaṉ feeding hall cālai…, according to the document concerning Paravainaṅkainallūr alias Caṅkoṭi, ... pāḻāy, the land got on a part pāl of this village, that is, the land bought is as follows: fifteen and a half vēlis; among this, having removed five and a half land removed as unfit oṇṇātu for yielding crops, thus ten vēlis; these, so that there be twelve pots and three kuṟuṇis of paddy ... two thousand four hundred fifty pots; among this, the paddy of the lower share mēlvāram is one thousand two hundred twenty five pots ... whereas there are expenses celavu āka, line 26 ... so that there be one tūṇi one patakku and two nāḻis per day for twenty-five Brahmins who take food in the feeding hall cālai ...

So that there be āka, line 32 for prepared food kaṟi , one tūṇi of paddy, for one āḻākku of black pepper miḷaku, five nāḻis and one uri of paddy, ... ... for one woman who brings waterpots, four nāḻis of paddy, ... the nibandhas so described—including, so that there be per day three pots and three kuṟuṇis of paddy, one thousand two hundred fifty five pots seven kuṟuṇis and four nāḻis per year—have been engraved, so that, from the twenty-fourth year onwards, a nibandha goes cella as long as the moon and the sun.

The meykkīrtti is a mixing of that of Rājendra I Cōḻa and Rājendra II Cōḻa, as found in (pp. 26-28, 60-63), more precisely, we find first the aṭis 1-39 of the meykkīrtti of Rājendra I Cōḻa and then most, but not all, of the aṭis 37-82 of the 5th meykkīrtti of Rājendra II Cōḻa. This was already noted by (p. 29, fn. 5, at the word takkaṇa-lāṭamum, line 7): From here the wording is quite different from that of the other published inscriptions.
