Vijayarāya-Mahārāya “who witnessed the elephant hunt” (Dēvarāya II ?) —Śaka 1368. The details of the date are given as Akshaya, Tulā, śu. 10, Friday, Aviṭṭam corresponding to A.D. 1446, September 30.
This is a copy of No. 23 of 1905 from Kīḻūr. It states that as a result of (the forcible) collection of kāṇikkai (presents) from the ryots of the Valaṅgai and Iḍaṅgai classes by the officers of state on each change of regime or administra-tion (manvantara) the former became impoverished and ran away from their homes to other kingdoms consequently worship and festivals in temples ceased and the land became infested with disease causing intense mental anguish to the people. This reached the ears of the king who forthwith issued orders through Aṇṇappa-Uḍaiyar prohibiting such extortion of the iṉavari and iḍaṅgai-vari in future and to get his command recorded on stone (throughout the state). As it was left out in some places people petitioned to Nāgarasa-Uḍaiyar to rectify this omission. On receipt of his permission this is stated to have been engraved in this temple also in the presence of the members of the nāḍu (assembly) of Vaḻudilam-paṭṭu-chāvaḍi, the karaṇika, the parivāra and Toṇḍaimānār Kachchiyarāyar.
