Land grant made by the residents of Viyātaraiyaṉ-kōṭṭai to the authorities of the temple Tiruccaṉṉavaṉam-uṭaiya-nāyaṉār at Tiruttiyūr-Muṭṭam for the maintenance of the image of Tiruvātavūr-Nāyaṉār (Māṇikkavācakar), which had been installed there by a certain Sundara-Pāṇṭiiya-Paṭṭaṉ alias Imametaruvān, one of the thirty Śivabrāhmaṇa vaṭṭam. The tax-free land shall cover the expenses for the food offerings (amutupaṭi) and the adornment of the idol (cāttuppaṭi). The record was to be engraved on stone and copper.
