EPIGRAPHIA INDICA In regard to the identification of the gift villages it may be pointed out that village names ending in ēttam such as Ninrēttam, mentioned in an inscription at Paḷḷikoṇḍai in the Gudiyattam Taluk may be cited besides Guḍiyāttam itself and Tālaiyāttam in the same (Gudiyattam) Taluk of the North Arcot District which is a abutting on the Chittoor Taluk of the Chittroor District in the south. But whether the gift village Kuḍiyēttam can be identified with Guḍiyāttam, which is about a hundred miles to the south of the findspot of the record, is doubtful. I am unable to identify Murukkēttam and Tirukkāḷattiēri, though villages with names ending in ēri such as Īchchnēri, Ayyanērī, Dāmanēri, etc., are quite common in the neighbouring Taluk of Vayalpad. Rāyanārāyaṇaputtēri is mentioned in an inscription of Śaka 1153 (1232 A. D.) from Rāyachōṭi in the Cuddapah District as a village given as tiruviḍaiyāṭṭam by Rāyadēva-mahārāja, a later chief of the Vaidumba family.[1] TEXT[2] 1 Svasti śrī [ | *] Samadika(dhiga)ta-pāñcha-mahāśabda makā(hā)maṇḍalēśvara anēha (ka)- samara-saṁka(gha)ṭṭan-ōbalabta (ōpalabdha)-vijai(ja)ya-lakshmī-samāliṁgida (ta)-viśāḷa-vaksha- sthaḷam kshatriya-pavitram Bhva(Bhuva)na-triṇētram Vaitumbh-ā(b-ā)bharaṇam ashṭa-mā-(mahā)siddhi-Kalukaṭāpura-paramēśvara Siddhavaṭadēva-śrīpāda-patmō(dm-ā)rāda(dha)ka para-pa(ba)ḷa-sādagam(dhakam) Pugalmādu viḷaṅga Jayamādu viruṁba nilamagaḷ nilava malarmagaḷ puṇara urima(mai)yir-chiranda maṇimuḍi-śūḍi Villavar kulaitara Mīnava=nilaikeḍa ēnai mannavar iliyal-urr=ilitarat=tikk-anaittum [tan] śakkaram naḍātti vīraśiṅgā[sa*]nattu Avanimuluduḍaiyāḷ= oḍum vīrrirund=aruḷiya Kōv-irāśakēsaripanmar āna Chakkaravarttigaḷ śrī-Kulōttuṅ-[ga*]-śōlādēvarkk[3]u yāṇḍu nā-
