On
detached stones in the mandapa behind the Navagraha images, Anantisvara
temple
Portions
of this inscription are lost. It
records the purchase of two plots of adjacent lands, one belonging to
the sabha of Mel-Ilattur and the other to that of
Mer-Chenninallur in Vennaiyur-nadu by two merchants, Tiruvarangadevar
and his brother Aiyanattevar, who formed them into a unit
called Nindadityanallu after their deceased uncle Dasanagan Nindan, and
adding thereto another 3 veli of land after purchasing the same
from the sabha of Viranarayana-chaturvedimangalam, thus making an
extent of 20 ½ veli and
1 ma in all, endowed the whole for the daily feeding of 100
persons including 20 Brahmanas, in the hall built by them in the temple
of Dvarapati-Paramasvami in the village in memory of the deceased
person. The assembly
ofViranara, yena-chaturvedimangalam is stated to have received from the
donor, 300 kalanju of gold as tiruttu-visam for reclaiming
for cultivation the three veli sold by them. This
is probably an inscription of Uttama-Cholaâs reign.

by Sankaran Kunrappolan of Puttur in Malai-nadu (mentioned in Nos.
363 and 387 above) on behalf of Kokilanadigalar the

name, though she is not specifically referred to as such in the record.
Nityavinitamangalam which finds mention already in a
record of Aditya I should have been so named after the surname
âNityavinita of a Pallava ruler, possibly Nandivarman III, an
inscription of whom is found in the temple.
