This
is evidently an inscription of Uttama-Chola. It states
that while the king was staying in his palace at
Kachchippedu (Kanchipuram), it was represented to him
through (the officer) Sola-Muvendavelan that the village
Sirriyarrur in Manayil-nadu a division of
Manaiyil-kottam had been granted, in the 21st year of
Tondaimanarrur-tunjina-Udaiyar (Aditya I), as
devadana-brahmadeya to the Sabha of Puduppakkam in
Purisai-nadu in the same kottam with the stipulation
that they were to pay as devadana-iraiyili to the temple
of Tirumalperudaiyar 3000 kadi (of paddy) as puravu and
561 kadi as iravu in addition to 200 ½ kalanju and a
manjadi. This order had been confirmed in the 4th year
of Parakesarivarman “who took Madurai and Ilam”
viz., Parantaka I, excluding from its purview the lands
in the village which had belonged to one
Sangappadi-kilan, for which the owner was to pay
independently 3000 kadi to the temple. This practice was
in force till the 36th year of the king (Parantaka I),
when the Sabha of Puduppakkam expropriated the lands of
Sangappadi-kilan and discontinued the payment he was
making. The temple authorities therefore now appealed to
the reigning king against this injustice. The latter
thereupon sent for the complainants and the Sabha of
Puduppakkam, and after due enquiry into the matter
passed orders to the Sabha to restore the payment in
future to the temple, of the 3000 kadi also due on
Sangappadi-kilan’s land in addition to their own
original dues of the puravu and iravu (rents) in
paddy, and the cash payment they had been making. It was
also ordered that this was to be entered in the
Tax-Registers, and the order was issued to the temple
authorities by the king’s officers including
Parakesari-Muvendavelan and Sembiyan Uttaramantri.
