Even a temple had occasionally to sell its land to be able to meet the revenue dues on its estates; an instance of this is recorded in Śāḷuvankuppam near Māmallapuram, about a.d. 1215.⁹³ On the other hand, the temples collected the dues owing to them from their tenants by distraining and, if necessary, selling their possessions with the king’s sanction.⁹⁴
