This record supplies interesting information about a bond dealing with money transactions. It states that two brothers having lent money to the villagers of Mīyvaḻi Tāyaṉūr, in the fifth year of Pārthivēndravarman, received their dues back with interest but could not so endorse on the original document which was now lost. Hence they declared that the document, if it should ever come out, must be considered ‘a dead document,’ i.e., become null and void.
