Commentary

The non-availability of visual documentation prevents a faithfull representation of the spelling, due to the inprecise extant editions. Some Grantha characters and initial vowels might be unmarked.

(1) The word tilata is a tadbhava of the Sanskrit tilaka.

(13) avippulam. Venkayya 1905–1906 notes that this word “means literally "oblation field"” and that “[t]he produce from this field was evidently used for oblations”.

(17) īḻa-viḷakku. Venkayya 1905–1906 refers to EI 7, p. 134, for the explanation of this word.
