SII 13.281B: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao

Alternative title: “No. 281B. (A.R. No. 21 of 1935.) KĪRAPPĀKKAM, CHINGLEPUT TALUK, CHINGLEPUT DISTRICT. ON A BOULDER IN A FIELD NEAR THE TANK.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: Like the above this is also evidently an inscription of Sundara-Chōḷa, because of its high regnal year and similarity of writing. It registers the gift of the vālamañji (income derived) from the tank called [Ti]kkiri-ēri in the village Kīraippāttūr (Kirappākkam) which belonged to Kumārandai Irāvaṇaṉ of Nāyaṟu in Nāyaṟunāḍu, a subdivision of Puḻar-kōṭṭam by his wife Kaṇḍi, who should have inherited his property, in favour of the ūrār of the village for the (improvement of the) tank. This vālamañji is probably the same as the fee or toll vālamañjāḍi mentioned in the Kōnērirājapuram inscription of Madhurāntaka Uttama-Chōḷa (S.I.I. III, p. 311) and in the Tiruvālaṅgāḍu Plates (ibid., pp. 391 and 436).

Language: Tamil (tam).
