(near Papanasam), Papanasam Taluk, Tanjavur District
On
the left side of the entrance into the central shrine, Ramalingasvami
temple
This
is engraved in peculiar characters and the meaning is obscure.
It purports to be a document (sadanam) with a duplicate in
copper-plate (?), issued by year. The nagarattar and the padi assembled together,
making a grant of a thousand kalam of paddy “to this god”.

(A.R.
No. 252 of 1923)
This

Tiruchcheyalur-Perumal at Rajakesri-chaturvedimangalam a brahmadeya
on the southern bank of the river, by one Kari Kadikurichchi, a native
of Erangudi in Kilvembai-nadu a subdivision of Pandi-nadu.
Among the boundaries of the land are mentioned Solachulamani-vaykkal

Kilaiyur,
Mayuram Taluk, Tanjavur District
On
a pillar in the central shrine, Vedapurisvara temple
This
inscription belongs to a Vishnu temple dedicated to Tirukkadavudaiya
Ninra-Narayana-Perumal, to which a certain Tuppil Chattikumara-Battan
residing at Sri Viranarayana-chaturvedimangalam on the north bank is
stated to have made a gift of 5 kalanju of gold in the third year
of the king. This grew to 8
kalanju in the 7th year, when the assembly of
Tiruvalundur took it over from the temple and agreed to supply for

Tiruvaduturai,
Mayuram Taluk, Tanjavur District

water for the sacred bath of the god, and another quarter to the uvachchar

of Tiruvaduturai. This
donor figures in a few inscriptions of Parantaka I, in one of
which dated in his 25th year (M.E.R. No. 126 of 1925) he is
stated to have built the temple. This
may therefore be assigned to a successor of Prantaka, probably Uttama-Chola.

exemption of taxes on six plots of wet land and tree of dry land
belonging to the temple, measuring nine ma and one mundirigai in
