Title in original script: தலைப்பு இல்லை (புராண கதை)
The manuscript concerns a Puranic text written originally in Telugu language. The text is written in prose, in Tamil scripts. The palm leaves of the text are numbered from 1 to 222. Their physical condition is variable as they were found in three different manuscripts, among them one was partly bitted by rodents.
The text, written for Kaṅkā Paramēṣvari, relates the story of a king who belonged to the Cūriya lineage. It contents twelve chapters, most of them relating the story or being linked to different persons such as Kuppiḷḷamīṉa, Kāṭṭam Rāja and Karikāla Rājā, Eṟakaṭṭa Pacuvataṉi, Pollāppu, Kāntimati, Yāṉaiyaṉi Āṭam and Tirumantula.
Size of the manuscript: 30.5cm x 3.7cm. The palm leaves of the text are numbered in Tamil from 1 to 222, the leaves 7, 8, 16, 17, 19-22, 29-35, 68, 195-200 and 207-211 are missing, or broken but kept at the place where they were founded when leaves were missing. Two series of 6 and 4 similar leaves were integrated into the manuscript (same topic). The manuscript was very dirty and very disordered; the leaves were found in 3 different manuscripts. Some parts of the reconstituted manuscript are damaged by rodents.
