* Shalbhog- Land for the maintenance of a school.

* Pallichhandam – Land donated to Jain institutions.

* Vellanavagai- Land of non-Brahmin peasant owners

* Brahmadeya- Land gifted to Brahmins.

4. The land given to temples during the Chola period was used for the maintenance of temples, worship, and other religious functions. This reflects the economic and social importance of temples.
