c27.17

Sometimes particular dues were ear-marked for a certain specified purpose such as the payment of interest on a perpetual loan given to a *sabhā* by the local temple.³¹ The villages situated on the banks of the Kāvērī and its branches had sometimes to take special measures for keeping the river bund in good repair to avert inundation during the floods; such villages had to levy a special cess towards this purpose. An inscription of the reign of Kulōttunga III from Tiruppāmburam mentions the *Kāvērik-karaiviniyōgam*.³²
