c29.22
A case of erosion by the Koḷḷiḍam (Coleroon) river resulting in an unsettlement of the boundaries between the lands held by the two temples of Śrīraṅgam and Tiruvānaikkāval on the island of Śrīraṅgam is recorded in the twentieth year of Kulōttunga III.51a New boundaries were fixed by royal officers *puravuvarik-kūṟu śeyvār* and *puravuvari-nāyakam-śey-* *vār*, in consultation with representatives of both the temples, of the *sabhā*, the accountants of the two villages where the lands lay, and the superintendents of both the temples; they took into account the holdings of the temples as they were before the 19th year of the king (i.e. before the erosion occurred) and suggested suitable exchange of lands where necessary. The award satisfied the parties and new boundary stones with the mark of *çakra* (Viṣṇu) and *śūla* (Śiva) were set up. In passing we may note the terms *kuṇḍigaikkal* and *mukkuḍaikkal* for Jaina boundary stones.
