Contents
Fragmentary and damaged. Seems to record a grant of land as paļļichchandam to the Chitrame liperumpalli of the ..., nāyakarvilāgam in Puliyūrkottam. On the back side is an ensemble of designs forming the emblem of the guild called Chitramēli.
Reference
ARE, 186/1961-62.
Remarks
Evidently, the Jain temple was built by the Chitraméli group, which was one of the important merchant guilds in medieval times.
