Beginning and end lost. Seems to record an endowment of land by JainottamaSomannan, a disciple of Madhava Chandrabhațaraka of Mulasaṁgha, and son of Somaṇṇan who was the son of Uḍaiyanņapekkadi of Kasyapa gōtra and Viprakula, belonging to Tanyam, an agrahara Chaturvědimangalam in Selanaḍu to the temple constructed by him in rajadhani Mayindiramangalam in Kagkāḍu-nāḍu in NigariliSolamaṇḍalam.
ARE, 162/1968-69.
Mayindiramangalam was the original name of Adiyamankottai. The Jaina temple built by Jainottama Somaṇṇan does not exist in the village. However, an image of Pārsvanatha, standing in a field near the dilapidated Siva temple, is the only Jaina vestige in this area.
