It is significant that Jambai, the site of the present inscription, is near Kōvalūr (modern Tirukkoyilur in Viluppuram District), the seat of the Malaiyamān chieftains. The sack of Kōvalūr by Añci was a famous event celebrated in song by Paraṇar as mentioned by Auvaiyār.⁵ Perhaps the grant was made by Añci to celebrate this victory.
