TRANSLATION. (Lines 1 to 7). Hail! Prosperity! In the year one hundred and forty-nine after Kollam appeared, on a Sunday corresponding to the Achahuvadi (asvati-nakshatra) in the month of Mirichchigam (Vfischika), when Jupiter stood in Tuls-while the great mon of the parudais (assembly) of Tiruchchenguprür were pleased to be assembled on this day in the high hall of the palace (situated in the flower garden of Kollam, Srivallavangodai, (the king) of Vêņaļu gave, by the pouring of water, to Ådichohap-Umaiyammai of Tirukkalayapuram, the battárakarlo set up by Adichchag-Umaiyammai at Ayurûr, and the lands belonging to the battárakar.

If then the week-day be Sunday, Nayiradada would correspond to the modern Nayird!cha and the word dlcha which Dr. Gundert derives from the root dļu 'to sink may, in that case, be derived from the root dp to rule.'-V.V.]
[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.]
