On Friday 5 Feb. A. D. 1321, which was 18 Kambbe, sukla 8 and “Roihni " ended respectively at.59 and 98 of day. The regnal year looks like " Ath" in the impression but is really “ 7th," which fact was verified by the writer's friends at Kurrilam.
1907 (186). From the north wall of the kitchen in the Biddhajñânesvara temple at Pâpângulam (Tinnerelly Distriot). Sale of land to the temple of Karatt-arindamaditta-Pandi [Sa] ramudaiya Nayapar, here said to be in Seranai-Veprin-tiramadaivilagam situated in Mollinada.

On Wednesday 30 Sep. 1821(=2 Tola), su. 9 and "Sravaņa" ended at .72 and 97 respectively.
The reading 18 Tula, which I believe to be an error for 8 Tula, gives rise to the following observations The epithet “who took every country" may seem to relegate this date to the reign of Mår. Kulasekhara I. The interval between the initial years of the two Kulasekharas being 46 years, it follows that lunar tithis and nakshatras are likely to occur at the same time of the solar year in either reign. (Vide seo, 228 of my Indian Chronology.) Moreover, if a tithi falls this year on 2nd Tula, it must have fallen last year on or about 12th Tula, so that per se a partionlar tithi and nakshatra, due on the 2nd Tala this year, would, ordinarily, have occurred 47 years ago on 12th Tala. Nevertheless, no suitable date, satisfying all the chronological details in the inscription, has been found in the reign of Mâr. Kulabekhara I. except A.D. 1274, which however, was only the 7th year of that reign (not the 8th). On Wednesday 10th October A. D. 1274 (=13 Tula, not 12 Tula) Tola su. 9 commenced at .08 of the day, anding next day at 14, while nakshatra Sravana ended at 55 on Wednesday.
N. B.-This inscription is on the north wall of a temple kitchen, while the next, No. 125, is on the west wall.
