Remarks
The cyclic year Krõdhana in this record corresponds to saka 1367 (1445 A.D). It records a decision by Tipparaisa Nayakkar, the agent of the king, the tänatrar and the Mahēšvaras and also the residents of Padaividu, setting apart the money received as income from the fishing lease in the tank [ērippasi (?)] from four specified tanks in the tirundmattukani of Tirumalai, for removing the silt and deepening those tanks every year, and the amount of Vasalkul ippanam (?) from the palsichchandam to deepen another tank. SII., Vol. XXIII, No. 69.
