Most interesting details are given by two inscriptions at Naṅguvaram, assigned roughly to the time of Prince Ariñjaya, son of Parāntaka I, i. e. about the middle of the tenth century a. d. One of them records a sale of land during the reign of the Cola king Rājakesarivarman by the village assembly to a private person on account of the boat plying in the tank. The second furnishes details as to how the income from this land was to be spent.
