the left side of the entrance into the central shrine, Ramalingasvami
temple
This
is engraved in peculiar characters and the meaning is obscure.

copper-plate (?), issued by year. The nagarattar and the padi assembled together,
making a grant of a thousand kalam of paddy âto this godâ.

inscription belongs to a Vishnu temple dedicated to Tirukkadavudaiya

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

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
