Notes: While narrating the boundaries of the gift land, there
is a reference, in line 3, to tiruvad igal-bhögum which stands for lands given for the enjoyment of Jaina ascetics (adiga!).
This inscription makes it clear that Kilśāttamangalam continued to be a live Jaina centre even in the end of the 10th century A.D.
