 2019-2025 DHARMAbase The inscription appears to be composed of two interconnected sections, dated one year apart. The internal coherence of this inscription and SII 14.160 suggests that they are two parts of the same register. The first section SII 14.160 records the conversion of a brahmadeya that was endowed as a devadāna by a certain Ammaṉ. This change on the nature of the land appears to have entailed new taxes on the land that the members of the community ūrār were required to pay. The taxes here registered were intended to be collected in order to support the feeding of twenty-five brāhmaṇas, a reciter of the Śivadharma, and to provide the provisions nivantakaḷ necessary for the ritual worship of the temple deity. The taxes seem to have been collected either in the form of paddy derived from the donated land or as payments in gold coins kācu. The second section, here presented, closely mirrors the content of the first SII 14.160 but introduces a new set of signatories and appears to be the actual implementation of the royal order tirumantira ōlai, likely executed one year after the initial resolution.
