The Matsyapurisvara temple at Koyil Tevarayan Pettai received endowments continuously from the seventeenth year of Aditya I i.e. 888 CE to the thirty-eighth year of Parantaka I i.e. 945 CE. The present fabric may date to the ninth year of Uttama Chola i.e. 980 CE when Sembiyan Mahadevi made a large grant. Moreover, even the divinity niche sculptures (devakoshthas) seem later than the period of Parantaka.
