The
identity of the king is not clear. This records a
tax-free gift of half a veli and odd of land at
Erukkilantittai village near Akkur alias
Rajendrasinga-chaturvedimangalam, for rearing a
lotus garden for the supply of garlands to god
Tirumayanam-Udaiyar at Tirukkadavur in Akkur-nadu and

garden.

Konerinmaikondan? 22nd Year.
This
records the king’s order to the tax-officers
(Varikkuru-seyyar) communicated through the Secretary
Rajendrasinga-Muvendvelan and 4 other officers, renewing
the grant of a tax-free land 13 veli and odd in extent,
situated in Rajadhiraja-mangalam which was a tax-free
devadana and tirunamattukkani village belonging to god
Tirumayanam-Udaiyar at Tirukkadavur. The land is said to
have been converted into tirappu in the king’s 4th
year and hence perhaps this present order of renewal.

Tanjavur

Brahmapurisvara
Temple-On The Same Wall
Konerinmaikondan
(?)-9th Year And 100th Day.
This
is engraved in continuation of the inscription No. 54
above, though it is evidently a separate and different
record. It is dated in the 11th year and 169th day
of an unspecified king, and registers a grant of land at
Akkur after its Purchase by one Villavarayar of
Perunallur for 10127 kasu, for the merit of the reigning
king, to provide for the maintenance of persons who were
to recite the Vedas and the Sri-Rudram in the temple of
Tirumayanam-Udaiyar at Tirukkadavur, the exact
significance of the term veda vinai is not understood.
Perhaps the chanting of the Vedas was accompanied with
the music o the vina. Mention is made of two
villages Tiruttondattugai-mangalam and
Sivapadasekhara-mangalam.

Temple-On The Same Wall
Konerinmaikondan
(?)-9th Year And 100th Day.
This
seems to register the grant of 2 pieces of land, one at
Virasolanallur and the other at
Virudarajabhayankaranallur and measuring together 23 ½
[veli] in extent, to the temple of Tirumaiyanamudaiyar
at Tirukkadavur, by order of the king. Mention is made
of a flower garden called the “Rajadhirajan
tirunandavanam ”which was to be formed out of one of
these lands after its reclamation from sandy mounds. The
record is left incomplete towards the end. A land
settlement made in the 16th year of Kulottunga-Chola is
referred to in the inscription.
