In the fourth regnal year, Rājarāja II issued an order to several villages in the Tanjore district, a *smudāya tirumugam* as it was called, regulating the prices of land sales in the whole of Virudarājabhayankara-vaḷanāḍu; the settlement resulting from this order was to supersede the tenancy conditions that had obtained till the fifteenth year of his predecessor. The new terms which were fixed by a number of high officials acting together applied to different categories of tenure such as dēvadāna, brahmadēya, paḷḷiccandam, rājakulavar-kāṇippaṟṟu etc.
