Hail! Prosperity! In the 29th year of the reign of the glorious king Rājarāja-Kesarivarman, alias Śrī-Rājarājadeva, who, etc.,,The historical introduction of this inscription is identical with that of No. 15.——we, the citizens of Mēṟpāṭi, alias Rājāśrayapuram, in Tūñāṭu, a subdivision of Perumpaṇa-pāṭi in Jayaṅkoṇṭa-Cōḻa-maṇḍalam, gave the following land as temple land for the expensesnibandha required by the god Mahādeva of the Aṟiñcikai-Īśvara temple, which the lord Śrī-Rājarājadeva had been pleased to build in our city as a resting-place for the king who fell asleep at Āṟṟūr. The eastern boundary of Pulikkuṉṟam,——which is one among the villages that were acquired and belong to our village as hamlets piṭākai, which is not divided into house-sites maṉai,See Vol. I. p. 66, note 3. and which is the common property of the city,——is to the west of the river called Nukā; the southern boundary is to the north of the boundary of Kukkaṉūr; the western boundary is to the east of the boundary of Teṉkoḷḷi; andthe northern boundary is to the south of the boundary of Pālainellūr.
The village of Pulikkuṉṟam, enclosed within these four great boundaries,——the whole land of this Pulikkuṉṟam, including wet land, dry land and jungle, and not excluding the cultivated land,The same expression uṇṇilamoḻiviṉṟi occurs in line 99 of the Udayēntiram plates of Pr̥thivīpati II.; above, Vol. II. p. 386.——we, the citizens of Mēṟpāṭi, alias Rājāśrayapuram, gave for the expenses required by this god, as tax-free temple land, having engraved this on stone. At the bidding of the citizens, I, the accountant of this city, Nārāyaṇaṉ Aṭaikkalavaṉ, wrote this. This is my writing. This gift is placed under the protection of all Māheśvaras.
