the south wall of the central shrine, Karkotakesvara temple
The
details of the date given here are said toyed eight equivalents
between A.D. 948 and 982. (M.E.R.
for 1915, App. F). Of these
A.D. 965 and 979 seem to be the most probable ones since the dates of
accession of Aditya II and Uttama-Chola are A.D. 956 and A.D. 969
respectively. This
inscription registers the provision made as jivita by the perunguri-perumakkal
(assembly) of Sri Kamaravalli-chaturvedimangalam, a brahmadeya on
the northern bank of the river towards the conduct of the sribali and
tiruppalli eluchchi services in the temple of
Tirunallu-Paramesvara. The urvariyam
(committee) of the assembly for each year was authorised to collect
the paddy for this purpose through the temple servants at the prescribed
rates of a tuni and padakku (on virivu) and a kuruni
(on anai) on each ma of land under the Kodandarama-vayakal during
