This inscription is dated in the Kīlaka year (i.e., Śaka 1291) and during the reign of Kambaṇṇa-uḍaiyar, (the son of) Vīra.See page 117, above. It records that, with the sanction of Koppaṇaṅgaḷ,See page 118, above. the temple authorities gave a maṭha near the temple and some land to a certain Gāṅgayar of Tirumudukuṉṟam. According to lines 9 to 14, Kāñchipuram belonged to Eyiṟkoṭṭam in Jayaṅkoṇḍa-Choḷa-maṇḍalam. The district of EyiṟkoṭṭamSee the remarks on Maṇayiṟkoṭṭam in the introduction of No. 151. was probably called after Eyil, i.e., “the fort,” a village in the Tiṇḍivanam Tālluqa of the South Arcot District.Sewell's Lists of Antiquities, Vol. I, p. 207. Tirumudukuṉṟam, i.e., “the holy ancient mountain,” is perhaps meant for its Sanskrit equivalent Vṛiddhāchalam, the head-quarters of a Tālluqa in the South Arcot District.Ibid. p. 212.
