‘*A*’ *l. 10: muppadu kuḍumbilum.....paṇṇiruvārilum*: Here the procedure for election to these two committees is even less specific in one important respect; we are distinctly told that only thirty tickets were to be put in for all the thirty *kuḍumbus* in the first instance (*muppadu kuḍarōlai iṭṭu*) and that out of these thirty, twelve were selected for the two committees, one from each *śēri*. But how the first thirty were obtained we are not informed. Another instance of the imperfect drafting of the record.
