(A.R.
No. 172 of 1929)

of the temple to Vennambi the aent of Ambalavan Paluvur-Nakkan mentioned
in No. 357 above to the effect that with the help of two assistants he
would conduct special worship and offerings to the god on all the days
of eclipse, sankranti and Vishnu (ayanas) during the year,
providing therefore the necessary requirements such as rice and ghee for
the midday and ardha-yama services, and oil for 5 lamps
during each of three sandhis and 2 during the sribali
offering, out of the pidigai-vari (land?) he had received free of
cost. The gana-pperumakkal

The
inscription is partly built in. It
records the sale of his portion of right of worship with its) emoluments
in land by Urupputtur Porkumara-Kramavittan a member of the alunganam
of Venganagar a brahmadeya in Purangarambainadu, to Sembar
Arulan Uttamanidhi alias Uttamasola-Muvendavelan of
KolliKurumbu in Emapper-kurram on the southern bank of the river,
who is stated to have constructed the temple of Sivalokatt-Mahadeva at
Gandaraditta-chaturvedimanalam on the northern bank, and who now made

proper appointee?). The
seller refers to the purchase of one share by Brahmadarajan Chakrapani from
Vasudevan Setti as recorded in No. 335 above.

every year in the temple of Tiruvarappalli-Udaiyar, by Kanalai
Tadiyar wife of (the chief) Animuri-Nadalvar and the niece of

Kudumiyamalai,
Pudukkottai State
On
the west face of the north pillar of the rock-cut shrine, Melaikkoyil
temple
In
the M.E.R. for 1905, this is stated to be incomplete.
But there are 6 lines of writing (damaged) engraved in
continuation of No. 322 of 1904 which might form part of this record.
Thus combined, the inscription seems to register a sale of land
to the temple of Tirumulattanattu-Perumanadigal at Tirunalakkunram in
Kunriyur-nadu by the urar of the village for 7 kalanaju of
gold which had been endowed for burning a perpetual lamp in the temple,
by a certain Ayattiya[deva] Palla[varai]yar.

one Sankan Kunrappolan of Malai-nadu.

at Kadumpidugu Melkappu (quarter), for offerings to god
Karikalasola-Pillaiyar (within that temple). He also gave 3 palankasu for a lamp in the main
temple. Kadumbidugu sounds
like a title of the Pallava Kings. Muttavalperra seems to indicate some special honour or
rank conferred on the regiment by the king.
This-regiment finds mention in Nos. 18 and 19 above.
This is probably an inscription of Uttama-Chola.

the non-payment of the taxes due on the same by the original owners, and
