Explanation

The Chola king Kulotunga exempted from taxes the village granted to Shailendra Chudamanvihara.The strain in the Chola-Sri Vijaya relationship caused Rajendra Chola-1 to send a big naval expedition with a large fleet of ships to south- east Asia in the year AD 1023. In the year AD 1006, a village called Aanaimangalam closer to this site was surveyed and donated to upkeep this Vihare from its revenues which were exempted from taxes. In the following years, in AD 1008 Rajaraja Chola confirmed on copper plates the earlier grants made by him to the "ChulamanipanmaVihare" at Nagapattinam and exempted same from taxes. Kadarm is a village in Talang Rural District, Talang District, Qasr-e Qand County, Sistan and Baluchestan province, Iran. At the 2006 census, its population was 110, in 21 families.
