The details of date given as [Kunbha], ba. 12, Sunday, Uttiradam correspond to A.D. 1369, February 4, according to Kiel horn (Ep.Ind Vol IX p.225). This records the sale of the (tenancy) rights over some pieces of land by Siraladevar Munaiyadaraiyar Makkanayinan of Melur in Kana-nadu alias Virudaraja-bhayankara-valanadu to one Tiruvudaiyar Piravikkunallar of Kulamangalam in Melai Iraniyamutta-nadu said to be a tiruvudaiyattam of Nayanar Alagar, for 200 panam, which was the amount he had to pay to the latter as ‘marriage money’ for marrying his sister Kanaviniyar. He is stated to have also sold his rights over some other lands for 540 panam presumably for meeting the other expense of his marriage like the presentation of angabhu shaman to the bride and similar items. These kaniyatchi lands comprised a tiruvidaiyattam land of Nayanar Tirumeyya-Malaiyalan, one of Emberumal, and a devadana land of god Pilliyar of local shrine. The others belonged to private individuals.

This registers the alienation in favour of his son Siraladevan of the kaniyatchi rights with all their appurtenances on a certain specified tiruvidaiyattam (and other?) lands at Melsarkulam, Devimangalam and Melur, and two houses in the latter two places, together with a number of slaves, by Siraladevan Munaiyadaraiyan Makkanayan of Melur in Kana-nadu. As this person who now makes a gift to his son, of some of his possessions, has figured in No. 395 above, which is of the same date as the present inscription, it is to be understood that his contemplated marriage to in that record was a later and second one.
