This record of the 16th year gives an instance of how arrears of rent amounting to 8,000 kāśu was collected in the 13th century. When the accounts of the temple of Rājarāja-Īśvaram-Uḍaiyār at Rājarāja-Kuḷattūr in Tiruvindaḷūr-nāḍu, a subdivision of Rājarāja-vaḷanāḍu, were audited by Kayilādamuḍaiyāṉ alias Śōḻakōṉ-Pallavaraiyar, an agambaḍi-mudali of Śōḻakōṉ, between the 23rd and 25th [days of Āḍi], it was found out that Amudaṉ Śāyaṉ Dāmōdira-Bhaṭṭaṉ of Tiruvindaḷūr had not paid his dues to the temple, on three bits of land enjoyed by him. The owner having died, his wife and his son Sūryadēva-Bhaṭṭaṉ were directed to pay up the arrears and they pleaded inability, but requested the authorities to protect them by attaching their ‘Aruṅgāḍaṉ’ land. Accordingly this land measuring 8(1/2) mā in extent was, with the cognisance of her husband's brother Śaḍaiyāṇḍāṉ Tiruvīraṭṭānamuḍaiyāṉ-Bhaṭṭaṉ, set off against the arrears of tax and converted into a tirunāmattukkāṇi land of the temple. The income from this land was then allowed to be utilised for providing offerings to the god during the mid-day service and for maintaining two sacred lamps in the temple, for the welfare of Piḷḷai Śōḻakōṉār.
The temple of Rājarāja-Īśvaram-Uḍaiyār was constructed, evidently after the name of Rājarāja II, by his general Kuḷattuḻāṉ Tiruchchiṟṟambalamuḍaiyāṉ Perumānambi alias Pallavarāyar.A.R. No. 427 of 1924.
The existence of this record in the Tanjore district indicates the extent of the dominion of Kōpperuñjiṅgadēva.
In connection with the reversionary rights to properties, an inscription of the time of Rājādhirāja II (1163-1178 A.D.) states that a married woman should, on the death of her husband, become the owner of the lands, slaves, jewels and other valuables and the cattle of her deceased husband.Ep. Rep. for 1919, p. 80.
According to the details given, the date of the record is A.D. 1259, July 27, Sunday.
