This inscription dated in the 7th year, registers a sale of 60 mā of land in Mugaiyūr, hamlet of Vīranārāyaṇa-chaturvēdimaṅgalam in Kulōttuṅgaśōḻa-chaturvēdimaṅgalam and in Vīrapperumāḷmaṅgalam, to the temple of Mūlattānam-Uḍaiyār in Tirunāraiyūr, an independent village in Virudarājabhayaṅkara-vaḷanāḍu ‘on the northern bank,’ by the temple of Tiruppulīśvaram-Uḍaiyār at Perumbaṟṟappuliyūr, an independent village in [Rājādhi]rāja-vaḷanāḍu, for one hundred and twenty thousand kāśu.
It may be noted that the amount is specified in multiples of thousands and that for the denomination of a ‘lakh’ ‘one hundred thousand’ is used here. The sale price works at 2,000 kāśu per mā of land.
The village Mugaiyūr may be identified with the village of the same name in the Chidambaram taluk. The village Tirunāraiyūr where this inscription is found is stated to have been a suburb of Vīranārāyaṇa-chaturvēdimaṅgalam (A.R. No. 543 of 1921). Kulōttuṅgaśōḻa-chaturvēdimaṅgalam and Vīrapperumāḷ-maṅgalam were probably other suburbs of Tirunāraiyūr.
The details of date correspond to A.D. 1249, October 19, Tuesday.
