[The expression idatts raichchu of the original seems to be used in the sense of the modern MalayAlam idattil vechchu which appears to be almost synonymous with the Tamil idattil.-V. V.]
The word parudai occurs also in the form paradai and is a tadbhava of the Sanskrit parishat-V. V.] . The original has" were assembled and were pleased to be seated."-V.V.]
10 [It was evidently the image of the god that was made over to Adichchan Umaiyammai; see below, p. 339, pote 10.-- V. V.]
[According to Dr. Gundert, podundt means "a class of half-Brahmans, temple servanta" and agappodwod! with pinunde officiate as priests and administrators of temple property.- V. V.]
11 (4tfirpdrw is evidently the same as aflippers which, according to Dr. Gundert, means " complete purchase of free h !." Mr. Nagamsiys defines the term as the out and out surrender of the jenmi's rights by sale (Trarancore Manual, Vol. III, p. vill.)- V. V.]
