c27.22.3

1021, the *sabhā* of Vēmbaṟṟūr received sixty-five *kāśus*⁵² from the Śiva temple of Śrī-Kuḍittiṭṭai, and in lieu of interest thereon, they agreed to forgo the following dues from some temple lands: the *siddhāya-kāśu*, the *pañcavāra*-paddy, gram and dholl, oil and ghee and other *vari* levied by the town (*ūrīḍuvari*), the payment for the tank (*ēri-īvu*) and the forced labour (*vēdanai*) on banks and bunds (*kulai* and *kurambu*) and other smaller dues (*śilvari*). An inscription of Uḍaiyār Sundara Cōḷa-Pāṇḍya from Tiruvālīśvaram⁵³ states that five *vēlis* of land were converted from *brahmadēya* into ryotwari land (*veḷḷān-vagai*) and required thereafter to pay as land-tax (*iraik-kaḍan*) paddy to the amount of 642 *kalams*, 6 *kuriṇis* 2¾ *nāḷis* and 2½ *śeviḍus* as measured by the *nārāyam* equal to five *nāḷis*; besides 35¼ and 3|80 *kāśus* as *uruvu kōl-nilan-kāśu* and 5 *kāśus* as *kāṭci-erudu-kāśu*. Among money-dues (*āyam*) to be collected from some lands in Kīḻūr were: *maramañjāḍi*, *pāḍikāval*, *vēṇḍu-kōl*, *manaik-kāṭci-ppēṟu*, *kūraik-kāśu*, *kiḍāk-kāśu* and others; only these *āyams*, and no other kind of dues, were to be levied from the lands (older *dēvadānas* excepted) set apart by two Malaiyamān chieftains for certain expenses in the temple at Tirukkōyilūr.⁵⁴ Of these cesses *mara-mañjāḍi* seems to have been the levy of one *mañjāḍi* of gold on each useful tree;
