Year (3) 7. (c. A. D. 1215) The *Mahāsabhā* of Uttaramelūr *alias* Rājēndra-śōḷa-caturvēdimaṅgalam entered into a fresh agreement with the *Māhēśvaras* and the *Sthānattār* of the temple of Tiruppulivalam-uḍaiya-nāyaṇār regarding the future administration of old endowments for eight perpetual lamps. These endowments were: (as recorded in the Tiruppulivalam-uḍaiyār and Naḍuvil temples)—four lamps for 100 *kalañju* of red gold taken charge of by the Assembly for the time being (*eṅgaḷ pūrvapuruṣahaḷ*, ll. 3-4) from Rājamārtāṇḍa *alias* Aparājitavikramavarman on the occasion of a solar eclipse in the fourteenth year of his reign; (as recorded in the Naḍuvil temple)—*one* lamp for 12½ *kalañju* taken from a private individual in the 18th year of Kaṇṇaradēva who took Kacci and Tañjai; *two* lamps to be maintained from proceeds of the sale of land given for the purpose by an individual in the thirteenth year of Parakēsarivarman who took Madura; and *one* lamp for 12½ *kalañju* taken from another person in the fourteenth year of the same king. In the 37th year of Tribhuvanavīradēva, when the *Māhēśvaras* called upon the *Sabhā* to keep to its engagements, it was unable to do so (*ivviḷakkukku nittattēvai-yiṟukka muḍiyāmaiyil*, ll. 11-12) and had to persuade the temple authorities to accept a less onerous schedule of obligations for the future.
