The details of the date are given as Śaka 1378, Dhātu, Tulā, śu. 5, Friday, Hastā which would correspond to A.D. 1456, October 4. But the week-day and nakshatra do not tally with the tithi.

The inscription is left unfinished. It mentions a tax (?) called Iḍaṅgai-vari and some land endowed to the temple of Tiruvēgambam-uḍaiya-Nāyanār in Kāñchīpuram, a nagara in Eyiṟ-kōṭṭam, a division of Jayaṅgoṇḍaśōḻa-maṇḍalam.

These are two copies of the same inscription one in Kannaḍa and the other in Tamil. It is merely dated in the cyclic year Śrimukha, Mārgaśira, śu. 5. (Mārgaḻi 5) and mentions a certain Lakshmīkānta-arasa son of Gajapati-vibhāṭa Tipparasa-Oḍeya.

⟨SIIv22p0i0007⟩ No. 7. (A.R. No. 7 of 1906) SALEM DISTRICT, NAMAKKAL TALUK, NĀMAKKAL RAṄGANĀTHA TEMPLE ON THE HILL-IN THE MONOLITHIC CAVE FORMING THE CENTRAL SHRINE.

This consists of a few Sanskrit birudas in the Pallava-Grantha script of about the 8th century A.D. like those found for the Pallava king Mahēndravarman I in the Pallavaram and Tiruchirapalli cave temples, and of two verses in Sanskrit both damaged. One of them seems to record the excavation of this cave temple called the Atiyēndra-Vishṇugriha by a king of the Atiyānvavāya (family) whose name is lost. It also makes mention of the grandsons by the daughter (dāuhitras) of this king (?). In the second verse we can read the names Śaśi, Sūrya, Tumburu, Nārada, Madhu and Kaiṭabha. The images of these (and other) heavenly beings are actually found cut in relief on the walls of the temple. For a detailed description of this and the other two temples on the hill at this place, see the Annual Report on Epigraphy for 1906. Part II, paragraphs 35 and 36. The following are the birudas mentioned above: Utpala-karṇika, Naravāhana, Madana-vilāsa, Mānapara, Nayapara, Udārachitta, Prakritipriya and Naradēva.

This is a collection of some fragmentary pieces of writing of about the 13th century A.D. The inscription of which these should have formed parts, is dated in the reign of a certain Tribhuvanachakravartin••••• and seems to register a gift of land as Tirumaḍaippaḷḷippuṟam to the temple of Vēdanāyaka-perumāḷ on the hill at Tiruvāraikkal, and gives the names of some benificiaries of the gift. ⟨Page 5⟩

This is an incomplete inscription recording the consecration of god Vēdanāyaka-Perumāḷ and the endowment of some land for worship in the temple, by a chief named Aṅgarāyaṉ belonging to the Pullai Veṭṭuvar (?) community, who had the titles Naṟkāvēri-Nāḍāḻvāṉ, Dēśi Āḷappiṟandāṉ and Mummuḍiśoḻa-chakravartti.

This records an agreement among the artisans of all parts of Koṅgumaṇḍalam to give an impost of one paṇam in coin and a specified quantity of corn in kind levied on each family, for the renovation of the temples of Siṅga-Perumāḷ and Paḷḷikoṇḍa-Perumāḷ at Tiruvā[lu]ttalam.

This consists of a number of disconnected fragments probably forming parts of more than one inscription which are built over in several places. One of the pieces seems to mention the 9th year of Rājarāja and to record some gift of land (?) for worship and repairs (in the temple). Another makes mention of a person by name ⟨Page 7⟩ Viḍukādaṉ alias Vattarāyaṉ of [Miṉ]ṉāmoḻi-nāḍu (?) and one Vaṇigachakravarti of Pavitramāṇikkam. A third piece records a gift of land to god Emberumāṉ Śiṅgapperumāḷ of Tiruvāraikkal by a private individual by name Kāśyapaṉ Śendāmaraikkaṇṇaṉ. Still another piece refers to the [2]2nd year of an unspecified king and to a gift of tax-free land to the temple as tiruviḍaiyāṭṭam.

This records an order of the king making a tax-free grant of the village Vānavamādēvi in Ēḻūr-nāḍu a sub-division of Vaḍakoṅgu to a surgical doctor, (aṅgavaidya) by name Savarṇaṉ Pārāśrayaṉ Ādittadēvaṉ Tiruvambalapperumāḷ of Nāṅgūr who had the title “Vaidya-purandara”. This order is given effect to and executed in another inscription (No. 13 A.), engraved below, by the Sabhā, the Nāṭṭār and Nagarattār of Ēḻūr-nāḍu.

This is also probably an inscription of Sundara-Pāṇḍya mentioned in No. 13 above. It registers the execution of an order issued to them by the king, by the sabhā, the nāṭṭār and the nagarattār of Ēḻūr-nāḍu, granting 1020 kuḻi of wet land free of taxes to a certain Sarvadēvabhaṭṭa-Sarvakratu of Pāśāṟṟūr.

This is damaged. It records an agreement by the mahā-sabhā of Tirukkaḍavūr in Ambar-nāḍu a division of Vīranārāyaṇa-vaḷanāḍu to pay the taxes on a land endowed for the maintenance of a maṭha called the “Āyirattaññūṟṟuvaṉ-maḍam” established by a Veḷḷāḷa of the place by name Tiruveṇkāḍuḍaiyāṉ Nīṟaṇindappēraraiyaṉ for feeding Śivayōgis. The assembly is said to have received for this purpose a lump-sum payment of 40 kāśu from the donor.

The inscription commences with the introduction Tirumagaḷpōla etc. It records a sale of land made tax-free by the mahāsabhā of Tirukkaḍavūr in Uyyakkoṇḍār-vaḷanāḍu for 15 kāśu received by them from the temple of Kālakāladēva. This amount seems to have been a gift (from the palace ?) for burning a lamp called “Mummuḍiśōḻaṉ” (evidently after the king's title) in the temple.

The inscription records an endowment of lands wet and dry in Kīḻūr village to the temple of Kālakāladēva by one Dīran Kūttaṉ alias Ādichchapanma-Viḻupparaiyaṉ for the daily supply of 4 nāḻi of milk, evidently for the sacred bath ⟨Page 17⟩ of the deity, for burning a perpetual lamp and for the akkāraḍalai offering to the god on the days of Saṅkrānti. Among the boundaries of the land mention is made of a field (?) called Varaguṇa-viḷāgam.

This begins with the introduction Tirumagaḷ pōla etc., The details of the date given viz. Āvaṇi śu. 12, Saturday, Āślēsha, give the equivalent A.D. 999, August 26, but the nakshatra was Śravaṇa not Āślēsha. The inscription records a grant of land by the sabhā of Kaḍavūr to two persons by name Pādaśivaṉ Āyirattaññūṟṟuvaṉ Kālakālaṉ alias Kaḍavūr-Vēḷāṇ and Rāmaṉ Chandraśēkharaṉ alias Nūṟṟeṇma-Vēḷāṉ, probably to provide for the playing of musical instruments during the several services and for offerings, to the deity in the temple of Tiruvīraṭṭānattu-Perumānaḍigaḷ.

The introduction is Tirumanni vaḷara etc., the list of conquests enumerated extending up to that of the Gaṅga. The inscription records the gift of a golden kalaśa set with 9 gems of high quality and weighing about 109 kaḻañju, to God Kālakāladēvar by one [Sāga]ṇi Vaḍugaṉ of Nallūr in Nallūr-nāḍu a division of Nittavinōda-vaḷanāḍu. This gift is said to have been got engraved on stone, by the sabhā of Tirukkaḍavūr on receipt of a royal order to that effect.

The inscription begins with expression Pugaḻmādu viḷaṅga etc., It registers an endowment of two pieces of land making up 2(3/4) vēli in extent by the sabhā of Tirukkaḍavūr, for the maintenance of some Śivayōgis attached to a maṭha called the Kuṅgiliyakkalai[yar-maḍam] in the temple, which was evidently established by one Paḻandīparāyaṉ of Śiṟṟāmūr, and for the requirements of worship during the ardhayāma and the paḷḷi-eḻuchchi services in the temple. The gift is said to have been made for the well-being of the king's person. The record is incomplete.

The details of date given viz. Mithuna, śu. 5, Thursday, Aśvati would give the probable equivalent A.D. 1001, May 29, f.d.t. 17. The nakshatra was however Āślēsha, ·80, and not Aśvati. The record is incomplete. It seems to register a sale of land by the Sabhā of “Paḍai-ēviya” Kaḍavūr in Ambar-nāḍu to a certain [Śe]mbiyaṉ-Aḍigaḷ-Chaturvēdibhaṭṭaṉ of the same village. Mention is also made of another person by name Bāradāyaṉ-Aḍigaḷ-Chaturvēdibhaṭṭaṉ who is stated to have been sent to Malai-nāḍu by Rājarājamārāyar (evidently the king) on some mission.

The details of date are given as Pūraṭṭādi ba. 2, Monday, Punarvasu (A.D. 1000, Sept. 23). The tithi should be ba. 8. This registers the sale of 3/4 vēli and odd of land as tirunāmattukkāṇi to the temple of Tiruvīraṭṭānam-uḍaiya-Paramasvāmi by the sabhā of Kaḍavūr. It seems that some money was due to the palace by way of loan taken by one Bāradāyaṉ Pullaṉ Vīranārāyaṇaṉ alias Brahmaśrīrāyaṉ on behalf of a lady of the Mañjanattār-vēḷam. The amount had doubled itself into 30 poṉ in course of time, and some members of the Samarakēsari-teriñja Kaikkōḷar who were orderd to collect the debt, put severe pressure upon the sabhā of the village to do so. Brahmaśrīrāyaṉ had died in the meanwhile and the sabhā sought out a jñāti of his by name Sāmanta-Tanikar who, however, disowned any responsibility towards his cousin. The sabhā attached the debtor's property which had descended to the deceased's son Vīranārāyaṇaṉ Śivaṉ and the latters' nephew Pullan Vīranārāyaṇaṉ. Since these two could not be found, the property was taken over (?) exparte in lieu of the amount due and was sold to the temple. The inscription is damaged and left incomplete towards the end.

The king is given the attribute “who was pleased to take every country”. The inscription is mutilated and incomplete. The date portion preserved is 23year ... śu 7, Friday, Aśvati (probably Junuary 16, A.D. 1293). The object of the record is to register a gift of nine mā and odd of land, to the temple of KAlakāladēva by one Saduraṉ Kēśavapperumāḷ of the village ŚeḻuvattUr in Pāṇḍimaṇḍalam after purchasing the same and getting it made tax-free by the Sabhā of TirukkaḍavUr. The land appears to have been previously endowed for a flower garden to a PiḍAri temple by the same donor, and passed on to private ownership subsequent to the 13th year of Perumāḷ Sundara-Pāṇḍya. The details however are not clear.

The inscription has the introduction commencing with Pūmādu puṇara etc. It is mutilated at the beginning.

The inscription begins with the introduction Pūmālai miḍaindu etc., The continuation after 1. 18 is inaccessible, and hence the purport of the record is not known.

This registers an agreement among the aḍaippar and the kuḍimakkaḷ of Erukkāṭṭuchchēri which is called a tirunandāviḷakkuppuṟam village of the temple of Kālakāladēvar, that they would burn 3 lamps in the temple from the 21st year ⟨Page 28⟩ onwards of the king, in token of their grateful appreciation of the help rendered to them by Araiyaṉ Āḷuḍaiyāṉ [Nāṅgūrā]ḻvār of Śīgār in Puliyūrnāḍu a division of Arumoḻidēvā-vaḷanāḍu. During his administration as Piḷḷai Kaikkaṇakkanār he is said to have got them exemption from viniyōgam and attended to all their needs without stint and also further restored to them after diligent search some charter of privilege in original which had been granted to them in the 13th year of ‘Periyadēvar’ and which he now passed on to the palace through the village watchman as a charter of security to the village.

The king claims to have taken Madurai and the crowned head of the Pāṇḍya. The inscription states that after the demise of Bhāradvāji Kālavinōdapaṇḍitan of Tiruvalañjuḻi who, along with his brother had the right of worship in the temples of Tiruvīraṭṭānam-Uḍaiyār and Tirumayānam-Uḍaiyār at Tirukkaḍavūr, a resident of the village by name Kunikkumpirāṉ Śaiva-vidyādhara-Brahmamahārāja and his father Śaivachintāmaṇi-Brahmamahārājaṛ claimed to have been appointed priests in their place by order of the king which was also got engraved on stone in these two temples and were accordingly performing worship. This reached the ears of Svāmidēvar (evidently the king's preceptor) who found out their unworthiness and false pretensions and hence dismissed them from service and reappointed the previons and rightful incumbents of the posts, viz. Bhāradvāji Brahmīśvaramuḍaiyāṉ Kūttappirāṉ Kālavinōdapaṇḍitaṉ and Dēvapperumāṉ Śaivasūrya-Brahmamahārajaṉ and others for the conduct of worship in the two temples. He also restored to them the rights and perquisites attached to their posts as they were in practice up to the 16th year of the king. They were given in addition the right of worship of the other deities also set up in the temples like Kālakāladēver, Kūttāḍumdēvar, Kulōttuṅga-Chōḷīśvaramuḍaiyār and Vikrama-Chōḷīśvaramuḍaiyār. On the representation of Vikramaśōḻa-Brahmamahārājaṉ that this appointment may receive royal assent and be engraved on stone, the king now issued his orders to the temple through his officers Rājanārāyaṇa-Mūvēndavēḷāṉ and six others confirming the above arrangements. ⟨Page 33⟩

The inscription begins with the introduction Pūmaruviya poḻilēḻum etc. It records an endowment of land made tax-free, as archanābhōga for the worship of god Rājarājīśvaram-Uḍaiyār consecrated in the temple, by one Sōmattiyaṉ Kalaiyaṉ ⟨Page 34⟩ Śēndaṉ for securing the well-being of the king's person, the mahā-sabhā of Tirukkaḍavūr making itself responsible for the payment of kuḍimai, kaḍamai and other dues to the palace. It is signed at the end by no less than 65 persons, who were members of the assembly. Further gifts of lands are recorded in continuation of the above made for the same purpose by (1) the mahāsabhā of Pāṇḍikulāśani-chaturvēdimaṅgalam to the south of Tirukkaḍavūr, represented by 15 signatories (2) certain residents of the place who had their jīvitam at Tirukkaḍavūr, like the kaṇkāṇiśeyvār, the kaināyakam-śeyvār and the paḍaittalaivar who gave lands as kāśukoḷḷā-iṟaiyili for offerings to the deity during one service. These are represented by about 30 signatories at the end (3) the Śāliyanagarattār of Anantamaṅgalam alias Kulōttuṅgaśōḻapuram in Kuṟumbūr-nāḍu who alienated 6 mā of land in favour of the same deity for being reclaimed (with 1 mā as a flower-garden), and agreed to pay the kaḍamai and kuḍimai thereof for a consideration of 37 kāśu received by them from the temple this is signed by 28 persons, and (4) the vyāpāranagarattār of the same place who gave 7 mā and odd of land as archanābhōga, and in return for 18 kāśu paid to them by the temple agreed to pay all the taxes thereon. This is attested by 14 signatories. This document is said to be got engraved on the walls of the Kālakāladēvar temple.

⟨SIIv22p0i0042⟩ No. 42. (A.R. No. 42 of 1906) TANJAVUR DISTRICT, MAYURAM TALUK, TIRUKKAḌAIYŪR. AMṚITAGHAṬĒŚVARA TEMPLE—ON THE SAME WALL. PAR. KULŌTTUṄGA-CHŌḶA III—16th YEAR (A.D. 1193-4)

The inscription begins with introduction Puyal vāyppa etc. The king is given the attribute “who took Madurai and was pleased to take the crowned head of the Pāṇḍya (evidently Vīra-Pāṇḍya)”. The details of the date are given as Mēsha, śu. [8], Thursday, Pushya (A.D. 1194, March 31). This registers the remission of taxes on a vēli of temple land (kāśukoḷḷā-iṟaiyili) by the mahāsabhā of Tirukkaḍavūr, for the expenses of worship and offerings to god Rājarāja-Īśvaramuḍaiyār consecrated in the shrine to the west side of the Kālakāladēvar temple, by Araiyaṉ Rājarājadēvar alias Vāṇādharāyar for the welfare of the king. This image of the deity is evidently different from the one mentioned in No. 41 above.

This states that two pieces of land, one known as Kānattūrnāṭṭu-Vēḷāṉ Maṉaikkollai and the other Tillaināyakaṉ-mayakkal-kaṇḍam measuring respectively 4 mā and 6 mā in extent, are the tirunāmattukkāṇi (temple land) belonging to god Kālakāladēvar at Oḻugamaṅgalam.

The details of the date given viz. Dhanus, ba. 10, Wednesday, Svāti in the 14th year of the king correspond to A.D. 1266, December 22. This records a communication addressed to the governing authorities of the temple of Kālakāladēvar by one Kāśipaṉ Tiruchchiṟṟambalamuḍaiyāṉ-Bhaṭṭaṉ, confirming the gift of two pieces of land measuring seven mā in extent at Perumuḷai in Viḷanagar-nāḍu a division of Jayangoṇḍaśōḻa-vāḷanāḍu, which he had made some time previously, and authorising them to get the deed now engraved on stone and copper. The latter part of the inscription seems to register the actual execution of the document defining the boundaries of the land, among which is mentioned a land belonging to a temple called the Vikrama-Chōḷīśvaramuḍaiyār.

The details of the date are given as Kanyā śu. 7, Sunday, Mūlā and yield the equivalent A.D. 1301. September 10. ⟨Page 44⟩

The object of the record is to register a joint resolution of the three assemblies Kīḻkūṟṟu-Brahmadēśaṅgaḷilār, Agara-Brahmadēśāṅgaḷilār and Veḷḷāḷa-Ūrgaḷilār of Jayaṅgoṇḍaśōḷa-vaḷanāḍu to set apart 10 out of the 35 vēli of land belonging to them by purchase in the tirunāmattukkāṇi village Ponpaṟṟi, for burning 40 perpetual lamps in the temple of Kālakāladēvar for the welfare of the king (Ulaguḍaiya-Perumāḷ). The occasion for this gift is stated to be that their prayer to the god was answered by way of the king having resumed for himself the administration of their nāḍu from his younger brother, and thus having enabled them to return to their own homes from other regions to which they had fled owing to the disturbed state of the country for a long time, and where they had had to suffer great privations and miseries.

The identify of the king is not clear. This records a tax-free gift of half a vēli and odd of land at Erukkilantiṭṭai village near Ākkūr alias Rājēndraśīṅga-chaturvēdi maṅgalam, for rearing a lotus garden for the supply of garlands to god Tirumayānam-Uḍaiyār at Tirukkaḍavūr in Ākkūr-nāḍu and for the maintenance of the persons looking after the garden.

This records the king's order to the tax-officers (Varikkūṟu-śeyvār) communicated through the Secretary Rājendraśiṅga-Mūvēndvēḷāṉ and 4 other officers, renewing the grant of a tax-free land 13 vēli and odd in extent, situated in Rājādhirājamaṅgalam which was a tax-free dēvadāna and tirunāmattukkāṇi village belonging ⟨Page 50⟩ to god Tirumayānam-Uḍaiyār at Tirukkaḍavūr. The land is said to have been converted into tirappu in the king's 4th year and hence perhaps this present order of renewal.

This is engraved in continuation of the inscription No. 54 above, though it is evidently a separate and different record. It is dated in the 11th year and 169th day of an unspecified king, and registers a grant of land at Ākkūr after its purchase by one Villavarāyar of Perunallūr for 10127 kāśu, for the merit of the reigning king, to provide for the maintenance of persons who were to recite the Vēdas and the Śrī-Rudram in the temple of Tirumayānam-Uḍaiyār at Tirukkaḍavūr. The exact significance of the term vēda-vīṇai is not understood. Perhaps the chanting of the vēdas was accompanied with the music on the vīṇā. Mention is made of two villages Tiruttoṇḍattugai-maṅgalam and Śivapādaśēkhara-maṅgalam.

This seems to register the grant of 2 pieces of land, one at Vīraśōḻanallūr and the other at Virudarājabhayaṅkaranallūr and measuring together 23(1/2) [vēli] in extent, to the temple of Tirumaiyānamuḍaiyār at Tirukkaḍavūr, by order of the king. Mention is made of a flower garden called the “Rājādhirājaṉ tirunandavanam” which was to be formed out of one of these lands after its reclamation from sandy mounds. The record is left incomplete towards the end. A land settlement made in the 16th year of Kulōttuṅga-Chōḷa is referred to in the inscription.

This records a gift of 6 mā of land after reclamation (from sandy mound) at a place called Tirumayānaviḷāgam as provision for the daily supply of ghee for a perpetual lamp in the temple, by Ambalakkūttaṉ, a resident of Karuppūr in Marugalnāḍu, a division of Gēyamāṇikka-vaḷanāḍu. In continuation of the above is an inscription of the 8th year of Kulōttuṅga-Chōḷa recording the joint gift of a lamp to the temple by two ladies.

The king is introduced with his panegyric “who took Madurai, Īḻam and Karuvūr and the crowned head of the Pāṇḍya and performed the anointment of ⟨Page 53⟩ heroes and victors”. The inscription is damaged. It registers a tax-free gift of land at Erukkalandiṭṭai village in Ākkūr by Vāchchiyaṉ Tiruchchiṟṟambalamuḍaiyāṉ Pinnai-ennādāṉ a devotee from Perumbaṟṟappuliyūr a taṉiyūr in Rājādhirājavaḷanāḍu, to provide for the daily supply of a specified number of lotuses to the temple during the several months in the year. The land seems to have been allotted by the temple to three elders of Kuvaḷaiyūr, a hamlet of Tirukkaḍavūr with necessary stipulations.

This inscription begins with the introduction Kaḍalśūḻnda Pārmādarum etc. The king is given the attribute “who was pleased to take Madurai and Īḻam”. This registers a gift of land about six vēli in extent in the village Śembiyaṉkuḷappākkam and 4090 saplings of areca-palm to be grown therein, after purchasing them from the sabhā of Maṇaṟkuḍi alias Uttamaśōḻa-chaturvēdimaṅgalam in Tiruvindaḷūr-nāḍu, a sub-division of Rājādhirāja-vaḷanāḍu, as tirunāmattukkāṇi to goddess Tirukkāmakkōṭṭa-Nāchchiyār in the temple of Tirumayāṉam-Uḍaiyār at Tirukkaḍavūr by Arumoḻi-Āḻviyār (daughter of ?)

The king is given the attribute “who was pleased to take all countries”. The details of date are given as Ṛishabha, śu. 14, Monday, Mūla which probably correspond to A.D. 1302, May 14. But the tithi was ba. 2 on this date. This is stated to be copy of an order of the king (Kōnērinmaikoṇḍāṉ) to the effect that the capital amount out of which taxes were being paid up to the 34th year of his reign on the village Tirumaiyāṉaviḷāgam alias Taniyānaiyiṭṭaperumāḷ-nallūr which was the tirunāmattukkāṇi and tiruviḷakkuppuṟam of the temple, were now to be remitted in favour of the temple and the village, entered as tax-free in the registers so as to provide for offerings and worship to the god during the service in the name of the king, and for repairs to the temple. The signatories to the order were the officers (?) Tuñjalūruḍaiyāṉ and Pallavarāyaṉ.

The inscription begins with the mention of the king's conquest of Madurai and Īḻam and Karuvūr and his anointment as hero and victor. It records a gift of one mā of land at Tirumayāṉaviḷāgam after reclamation by a Śivabrāhmaṇa of the temple by name Āttiraiyar Nambi Āḷavandi alias Poṟkōyil-Bhaṭṭaṉ to provide for the requirements of worship to the goddess Vāḍāmulai-Nāchchiyār on a special festival day in the year. The land was left in charge of one Śēṟṟuḍaiyāṉ Perumāḷ on vāḍākkaḍamai (perpetual lease) and he was to measure out 5 kalam of paddy for the purpose mentioned.

The king is given the attribute “who was pleased to take Madurai”. This records a gift of 600 kuḻi or 6 mā of land at the dēvadāna village Tirumayānaviḷāgam after reclamation by Tillaināyaka-Perumāḷ of Kiḷiyūr-nāḍu in Pāṇḍikulāśanivaḷanāḍu for burning a perpetual lamp in the temple with the daily supply of an uḻakku of ghee.

The king has the attribute “who was pleased to take Madurai”. This records a similar gift of 7 mā of land in the same place for a perpetual lamp in the temple, by one Arayaṉ Tiruvanantaṉ Kēraḷarāmaṉ of Kiḻvēṅgai-nāḍu in Rājarāja-vaḷanāḍu.

The king is given the attribute “who was pleased to take Madurai”. This also records a similar gift of 6 mā of land after reclamation by payment of money by Vaṇṇaṉ Maṉṟuḷḷāḍuvāṉ alias Śembiyaṉ Pallavaraiyaṉ of Puduvūr in Ārvalakkūṟṟam, a division of Rājēndraśōḻa-vaḷanāḍu, for burning a lamp in the temple.

The king is mentioned with his usual attributes. This records the appointment of one Naṟputtuḍaiyāṉ••• Guṇachcharaṉ in place of a certain Chaṇḍēśurappichchaṉ (deceased) as nandavaṉakkuḍi to look after the flower garden which had been endowed to the temple by a devotee by name Vāchchiyaṉ Jātavēdaṉ alias Tiruchchiṟṟambalam-uḍaiyāṉ of Rājādhirāja-vaḷanāḍu on the northern bank of the river (Kāvērī).

The details of date are given as Piṅgaḷa, Kaṉṉi, śu. 2, Rēvati, Friday, which yield the equivalent A.D. 1557, September 10. But the tithi was ba. 2. The record states that on this day Mahāmaṇḍalēśvara Obaladēva-Mahārāja, son of Kōnēṭayya-Mahārāja and grandson of Rāmarāja Koṇḍudēva-Mahārāja of the Ātrēya-gōtra, Yajuś-śākhā and Āpastamba-sūtra who had the Nāyakattanam of Magadaimaṇḍalam conferred on him by the king, granted the income from three villages Eḍuttavanallūr, Māḍāmpūṇḍi and Periya-Pavaṇḍai in Muḍiyaṉūr-paṟṟu for the several requirements of daily worship and offerings, and for special festival occasions to god Raṅganātha at Uttara-Tiruvaraṅgam in the same paṟṟu (division). On the representation of one Tirumalainambi Śrīrāmayyaṅgār to the chief, that the grant did not cover the full expenses incurred in the temple, the latter is said to have made an additional gift of the income from Pāḍiyēndal. Muḍiyaṉūr-paṟṟu is stated to be situated in Vaḻudilampaṭṭu-chāvaḍi in Koṟukkai-kūṟṟam, a su-bdivision of Meyguṉṟa-vaḷanāḍu in Magadaimaṇḍalam. It is also stated that it was situated in Tiruvadi-rājyam in Magadaimaṇḍalam. Hence it seems likely that Tiruvadi-rājyam was a major division, the same as Meyguṉṟa-vaḷanāḍu.

This records a gift of 64 cows for burning two perpetual lamps in the temple of Tāntōṉṟi-Āḷuḍaiyār at Śaṇbai alias Vīrarājēndrapuram in Śeṅkuṉṟa-nāḍu on the north bank of the Peṇṇai river, by one Aḍiyanambi Kōvalarāyappēraiyaṉ of Muḍiyanūr in Kīḻkoṉṟai-nāḍu on the southern bank, as atonement demanded of him by the members of the Chitramēḻi community (of artisans or cultivators ?) of the 79 nāḍu, for having killed by accident a certain Poṉpaṟṟi-uḍaiyāṉ Kuṉṟaṉ Śīruḍaiyāṉ, a Veḷḷāḷa resident of Vāḻaiveṭṭi in their nāḍu (Śeṅkuṉṟa-nāḍu). The arrow shot by him at an animal probably in a hunt, is said to have missed its aim and pierced this Śīruḍaiyāṉ instead.

This begins with introduction Tirumagaḷpōla etc. It is built in at the begining of each line. It records the sale of some land tax-free by the assembly of Maṟuvūr alias Vayiramēgha-Chaturvēdimaṅgalam on the southern bank of the river in Vāṇagappāḍi to the temple of Tāṉṟōṉṟi-Mahādēva at Vāḷaiyūr (Jambai) alias Nittavinōdapuram on the northern bank, to provide for offerings to god Kshētrapāla dēva in the temple. The cost of the land and the lump-sum amount towards the payment of taxes (iṟai-dravyam) seems to have been received by the sabhā from a certain Kāḍagachchōmāśi of Kūvaṇḍūr, a member of the āḷum-gaṇam.

The inscription begins with introduction Tirumagaḷpōla etc. It records a gift of 10 kaḷañju of gold deposited with the ūrār of Pālaippandal on the southern bank for a perpetual lamp in the temple by a merchant of the village by name Aṅgāḍi ⟨Page 73⟩ Poṟṟāmaṉ for (the memory of) one Pirāṭṭi Śīrāḷaṉ of Munaippāḍi Nāvalūr. The reason for the gift is stated to be that the latter trespassed into the former's house in the night and tried to assault his mistress in his very presence, by which he was enraged so much as to stab the intruder to death.

The inscription begins with introduction Tirumaruviya Śeṅgōlvēndan etc. This records a gift of 32 kāśu in memory of a lady by name Śēndaṉ Umaiyāḷ, for burning a perpetual lamp in the temple of Tāntoṉṟi-Mahādēvar at Vāḷaiyūr alias Rājēndrapuram by Malaiyamāṉ Kāṭṭimēlūruḍaiyāṉ Paḻaṅkūṟaṉ Kuṉṟaṉ of Kūgūrppāḍi in Narippaḷḷi-nāḍu on the southern bank. The gift is said to be in response to a demand made by the community Nāṉgudiśai Padineṇbhūmi Nānādēśi who held him responsible for the suicide of that lady by poison because of some threat held out by him with regard to a tax due.

It registers an agreement by the Śaṅkarappāḍi Nagarattār of Vāḷaiyūr in Vāṇagōppāḍi Pūrvadēśam to burn a perpetual lamp in the temple for the 20 kāśu received by them from one Veṇkāḍaṉ Narēndrachūḷāmaṇi of Nallāvūr in Pāmbūrnāḍu a division of Uyyakkoṇḍārvaḷanāḍu.

The introduction is Tirumagaḷ pōla etc. The inscription is left incomplete. It mentions an order of Maṟavaṉ Narasiṁhapanmaṉ alias Rājarāja-Vāṇakōvaraiyar ⟨Page 81⟩ to his subordinates to find out a land in the brahmadēya Koṭṭagam on the northern bank in his nāḍu (i.e., under his jurisdiction) which would suffice to yield paddy at a kuṟuṇi and 4 nāḻi per day as required for offerings to the god during the three services in the temple of Tāṉtōṉṟi-Āḷvār. A panegyric of this chief is given in Sanskrit after the regnal year of the king, calling him an “ornament of Mahābali-kula and “Parivipuraparamēśvara”.

It seems to record a gift of 32 cows for burning a lamp in the temple of Tāntonṟīśvaram-Uḍaiyār at Śaṇbai by one Kūḍaluḍaiyāṉ Kulattāṉ Śēndaṉ of Kaḍambūr on the southern bank of the river in Vāṇagappāḍi (alias) Rājendra-vaḷanāḍu to atone for the death caused by him, of Pichchaṉ Paṉman Kaṇḍan of the same village in a quarrel (?). The relatives of the victim are said to have been consulted (by the donor ?) as to the course of action to be taken. Another gift of 32 cows to the temple of Tirunāgīśvaram-Uḍaiyār is mentioned at the end.

The details of the date are given as Nandana, Mīna, ba. 9, Monday, Uttirāḍam which yield the equivalent A.D. 1473, March 22. The Śaka year should be 1394.

The inscription states that as a result of the Oḍḍiyaṉ-galabhai in the country, the worship in the temple of Tāṉtōṉṟi-Nāyanār at Śaṇbai had been stopped for ten years, and the walls of the temple itself had fallen down and the precincts had been filled with sand. In the year quoted Immaḍi Rāmappa-Nāyaka Timmappa-Nāyaka•• a chieftain of the king seems to have revived the worship in the temple, by remitting as sarvamānya 150 poṉ out of the 200 being paid as jōḍi and śūlavari to the king, leaving the remaining 50 for payment as land tax in future.

The details of the date are given as Nandana, Mithuna, śu. 10, Hastā, Monday corresponding to A.D. 1532, June 10. This tithi was śu. 8 on this date. The inscription registers an undertaking given by the residents of Śaṇbai and the surrounding villages, comprising the Tānattār (Sthānikas), the Kaikkōḷas, the Seṭṭis and the members of the 98 castes of the Iḍaṅgai and Valaṅgai communities, to pay a contribution by impost of one paṇam from each big family and half a paṇam from a small one and also one paṇam on occasions of marriage, to provide for the maintenance of a maṭha presided over by Kāḷatti-Āṇḍār Magadaimaṇḍala-Śivaṉ disciple of Perumkaṟchūla-Parvatammāḷ Kāttayar (?). This is very probably the same maṭha mentioned in No. 101 above.

The date is given as Saumya, Tulā śu. 10, Rōhiṇi, Monday corresponding probably to A.D. 1549, October 30. It was Wednesday and Śatabhishak on this date.

This records an endowment of the village Śuttamalligai with all its wet and dry lands in Meykuṉṟāda-vaḷanāḍu alias Narippaḷḷi-nāḍu in Magadai-Maṇḍalam on the southern bank of the Pennai, by Rāmappa-Nāyakar (son of ?) Aḍappam Sūrappa-Krishṇama-Nāyakar for the merit of the king, for burning 30 lamps during the services every day in the shrine of Aḻagiya-Nāchchiyār in the temple of Tāṉtōṉṟi-Āḷudaiyanayiṉār at Śaṇbai.

This is built in at the beginning of each line. It seems to record a gift of the taxes Śiṟupāḍikāval and Śilvari on lands at Tagaḍi a dēvadāna village on the southern bank of the Peṇṇai for the mantrapōnagam offering to the deity during ⟨Page 95⟩ the early morning service in the temple of Tirukkaṟṟaḷi-Mahādēva at Śeṇbai, by Sagarayaṉ Anupaman Kulōttuṅgaśōḻa-Malaiyakularāyan the [Malayamān] chief of Kiḷiyūr in Tirumuṉaippāḍi Kuṉṟattūr-nāḍu a division of Gaṅgaikoṇḍaśōḻavaḷanāḍu.

The date is given as Nandana, Karkaṭaka, śu. 10, Monday, Rōhiṇi perhaps corresponding to A.D. 1532, September 9, but the month was Kanyā.

This records an endowment, free of all taxes, of the village Ākkaippāḍi in Meykuṉṟa-nāḍu alias Narippari-nāḍu in Magadai-maṇḍalam on the southern bank of the Peṇṇai for the requirements of worship and offerings during the service instituted in the name of the king in the temple of Tāmtōṉṟi-Āḷuḍaiyanayiṉār at Śaṇbai, by Vaiyappa-Nāyakkar. Mention is made of the administration (of the division) by Venkaṭādri-Nāyakkar.

The inscription is much damaged. It seems to record the construction of a maṇḍapa (in the temple ?) by Vīranāraṇiyār the consort of prince Gaṇḍarāditya and daughter (in law) of Śōḻamādēviyār in the name of the Nagarattār of Vāḷaiyūr, and an endowment of seventy kaḻañju of gold by that body by levy of tax for its upkeep (?) and for burning a lamp in it during the nights with the interest thereon. ⟨Page 97⟩

The last few lines of the inscription are badly damaged. The sense of the record is rather obscure. It seems to register the consecration of a temple of Mahādēva by Vāḷaiyūr-Nakkar Yōgavāṇar a resident of Raṇabhīma-maṅgalam on the southern bank of the Peṇṇai, and an endowment made for worship therein by Vāṇakōvaraiyar Vīraparumar the chief of Vāṇagappāḍi-nāḍu by means of taxation on the lands at that village. The ūravar seem to have been made responsible for the collection and payment of the amount into the temple.

This is fragmentary. It seems to record a gift of money for a perpetual lamp in the temple by one Śaḍaiyaṉ Eḻuvaṉ, who probably deposited the amount with the Nagarattār of Vāḷaiyūr.

This is also mutilated like the above. It records the gift of lamp a called the Īḻaviḷakku and of gold for burning the light (with the interest thereon) before god Vīdiviḍaṅgar during the service in the temple of Tāntōṉṟipperumāḷ at Vāḷaiyūr. The donor was a resident of Tañjāvūr by name Vēṭṭarai Kaviriyār. The amount is said to have been deposited with the Nagarattār of the place.

The details of date are given as Nandana, Mithuna, śu. 10, Svāti, Wednesday which correspond to A.D. 1532, June 12.

This records the remission of the taxes jōḍi and śūlavari on all the dēvadāna lands on the banks of the Peṇṇai belonging to the temple of Tāntōṉṟi-Āḷuḍaiyanāyiṉār at Śambai alias Vīrarājēndraśōḻapuram in Vāṇagōppāḍi-nāḍu for meeting the expenses of worship and repairs in the temple, on the representation made to the king by Vaiyappa-Nāyakkar, during the administration of the region by Bommu-Nāyakar of Vēlūr.
