DESCRIPTION:

This city had existed(was formed) under the geographical classification of “Vikramacholavalanaattu mannaikonda cholavalanaatu ponparappi”. In this significant temple, King Gangaikonda Choleeswaramudaiya Naayanaar had conceived a special puja ritual and an auspicious day named as “Sundarapandiyan sandhi”. He also donated and contributed taxes received from many cities under his rule for religious practices and worshipping rituals of the lord in the temple. The geographical limits of those cities have been specified as Vembukkudi vaasal, Rajendra Cholan thirumadhil, Thiruvaasal Naaraasam, Pathu theru, Suthamalli Naaraasam periyeri(Ponneri in today’s times). Moreover, revenue and tax income from land limits within “Utpadai veettu madhil” and Vayithupallam Kannan thiruvodai fertile(nanjai & punjai) lands, nangaikulam, paappakulam, madaakulam, theerthakulam pond and also income from various other taxes like yerimeenpaatam, chekku irai, thari irai, thattaara paatam, kadai aayam, mansi irai were also contributed to rituals of “Sundarapandiyan sandhi”.

Through this inscription about the order, the king has communicated to the temple's administrative team with such(dhaanathaar) detailed information about lands and tax incomes donated to the temple. This order has also been signed off by officersNettoorudaiyaan, Kaalingaraayar and Sundarapandiya vizhupparayan.

This inscription also tells us about the Chola kingdom's fort names and places like "Rajendra cholan thirumadhil", "Utpadai veetu madhil" existing even after the Chola reign in history. The entrance area named Vembukkudi vaasal refers to the current geographical location of Utkottai. The place name Vayithippallam has transcended as Yuthappallam over centuries of lingual modification. The lake that was called as Cholagangam has been now mentioned as the big lake (periyeri).

During the pandyas ruling period, regions segregated as "naadu" for revenue purpose were called as "patru". And Gangai konda cholapuram has fallen under the region of "ponparappi patru". This city of ponparappi is located near Jeyankondam. The same city was considered to be the capital of "ponparappi patru" in historical times.
