The Colas c27.32

c27.32

⁷¹ 19 of 1890 (*S.I.I.* i, pp. 131–6). See also *M.E.R.* 1928, II 16.
1. Ferrand—Voyage, p. 138.
2. The Tiruvālangāḍu plates say that Rājēndra I captured the pearls of the Pāṇḍya King in his Southern expedition.
3. Note the use of *manṟa* as a verb in this sense. (*SII.* iii, 27, l. 9).
4. *SII.* iii, 93—*Daṇḍam-uḷḷiṭṭu eppēr-ppaṭṭa manrupāḍum* (ll. 28-30). The preceding syllables *‘ānavāy’* have been read together with *‘daṇḍam’* by Krishna Sastri, who sees a new duty in the phrase *‘ānavāy-daṇḍam.’* I am inclined to think that *‘ānavāy’* means ‘as occasion arises.’ Again Krishna Sastri takes *manṟu-pāḍu* to be a duty levied by the assembly; if the assembly had a part in its levy and collection, it must have exercised its judicial power on such occasions.
5. 255 of 1911.
6. 521 of 1920, ARE. 1921, II 35.
7. *SII.* iii, 142.
8. 194 of 1923.
9. 121 of 1925. Cf. also 388 of 1913; and 140 of 1926 for similar phrases. 147 of 1925 has: *‘peru-vari śil-vari tiru-vāśalil pōnda kuḍimai eppērppaṭṭadum.* See also 149 of 1925.
10. This is one of the most difficult terms. Does it stand for *eccōṟu* after all, ‘any kind of meal’ or ‘a meal on any account’? It will be remembered that the right of some persons to be fed is stipulated for in certain conditions.
11. Sometimes we have only Vāśalil-pōnda Kuḍimai for this class as in 388 of 1913. cf. Rājadvāra in 197 of 1923.
12. *SII.* iii, 93. The phrase used is *‘Kuḍimai-śeyyil’*, if (we) levy *Kuḍimai.* Krishna Sastri translates this into: ‘if we assert our occupancy-rights’. It seems to me to be a promise meant to stop, not the encroachment on the land itself, but on the income from it which was to be devoted to the maintenance of the tank.
13. 109 of 1911 seems to explain the meaning of *Ūr-kīḻ-iraiyili* in the following: *innilaṅgaḷukku ūr viḻukkāṭṭuppaḍi pottagappaḍi parri vanda nilam eṅgaḷ pērgaḷilē ērri irukkak-kaḍavōm āgavum; eṅgaḷ pakkal virrukkonḍārum strī-dhanam perrārum maṟrum perṟu uḍaiyārum*
