Chola inscriptions mention several categories of land: 
  • Vellanvagai- land of non-Brahmana peasant proprietors
  • Brahmadeya- land gifted to Brahmanas
  • Shalabhoga- land for the maintenance of a school
  • Devadana, Tirunamattukkani- land gifted to temples
  • Pallichchhandam- land donated to Jaina institutions

Thus, we can say that land gifted to a temple called in the Chola Empire is called Tirunmadukkani.
