This is damaged. It seems to record a gift made to the temple at Gōvindapāḍi, of a gold salver to hold the sacred offerings to the deity, by the king on the day of a solar eclipse, when he visited the temple and made a present of svanamēdani (suvarṇamēdinī) (?) to the god.

The king is called Parakēsarivarman “who took Madirai and Īḻam”. This is also damaged and perhaps also engraved by an ignorant scribe. It registers an endowment of 2000 kuḻi of land after purchase by Dēvaṉ Gōvindaṉ alias Pirānta[ka*] Anukki Śōḻanāyakaṉ of Pūḷikuḍi (?) in Śēṟṟūr-kūṟṟam for burning a perpetual lamp in the temple at Gōvindapāḍi in Valla-nāḍu.

The inscription has the introduction Tirumagaḷ pōla etc. It states that one thousand kuḻi of land at Śiṟṟiyāṟṟūr belonging to the temple of Gōvindapāḍi-Perumānaḍigaḷ, which had been overlaid with sand on account of a breach in the Pālār river was brought under cultivation by the voluntary efforts of Kaḍambaṉ Veṇkāḍaṉ a Veḷḷāḷa a resident of Nallūr-Pudukkuḍi in Tiruvaḻundūrnāḍu a division of Śōḻanāḍu. He was helped in this by an additional allotment of temple lands adjoining the above with irrigational facilities. Kaḍambaṉ ⟨Page 262⟩ Veṇkāḍaṉ then re-endowed the whole plot of land for providing for the daily sacred offerings to the deity with rice, ghee and other specified articles. The inscription also records another gift 1150 kuḻi of land by the same donor after purchasing the same from the Ūrār of Veṇpākkam for burning a perpetuaḷ lamp in the temple.

Both the impressions and the transcripts of these two inscriptions are now missing. In the Annual Report for 1907, List of inscriptions, the first epigraph is stated to be in prose and verse and to record that Anaiyamaṉ Paramaṇḍalādittaṉ bulit a maṇḍapa in the temple. The second is said to be damaged and to record a gift by the Virāṭa king Anaiyamaṉ. His ancestors are said to be mentioned as in No. 267 above.

This consists of a number of disconnected pieces of one or more inscriptions. The first piece mentions a sale of land tax-free, by the sabhā of Arumoḻidēva-chaturvēdimaṅgalam to the temple of Perumānaḍigaḷ at Gōvindapāḍi. Piece 2 refers to some persons reciting the puṇyapam (?). Piece 5 mentions some items of requirements of worship to the deity on the day of Tiruvādirai in Mārgaḻi month. Piece 6 similarly lists some requirements of worship and refers to four persons reciting the Tiruvāymoḻi in the temple and to 50 persons versed in the vedic lore. It quotes the 21st year of a king whose name is lost and ends with the mention of a sale of land tax-free by the assembly of Veṇpākkam to the temple at Govindapāḍi for the gold received by them.

The inscription is damaged. It seems to register a sale of land about 947 kuḻi in extent, by the Ūrār of Amaṇpākkam to the temple at Gōvindapāḍi. It is stated that the cost of the land was paid by Ponvilli alias Vaishṇavadāsan, a resident of Kuṇḍūr who formed a flower garden out of it for god Śrī Krishṇa. The land was made tax-free by the Ūrār with the amount which had been deposited with them sometime previously.

The details of the date are given as Āṉi, śu. 5, Mūlā, Friday which would correspond to A.D. 946.

This registers a sale on this date of 12 paṭṭi of tax-free garden land at Piḍāriyār kuḷattūr belonging to Kaṟṟaḷi Māyileṭṭi Nīlakaṇṭaṉ, a merchant of Koṟṟamāvalampāḍi in Kachchippēḍu (Kāñchīpuram) to the temple of Paramasvāmi at Gōvindapāḍi in Valla-nāḍu, a division of Dāmarkōṭṭam. Among the boundaries of the land is mentioned a river called the Pāriyāṟu after a wellknown cheiftain of the Śaṅgam period. It is probably the same as Pālār.

The first two lines are in early Telugu script, the rest being in Tamil. The inscription is damaged. It seems to record the offering by a man by name Iravi Achchal Bavadaḻi (?) of his own head in sacrifice as propitiation for the successful completion of the tank. To the right of the epigraph is the squatting figure of a man with his left hand resting on his waist and the right cutting off his own head with a sword. From the top of the severed head—curiously— instead of from the neck, is gushing forth a stream of blood falling on his right side in the fashion of Gaṇgā flowing from Śivā's head.

This is damaged. The details of the date are given as Mēsha, śu. Sunday, Hastā probably corresponding to A.D. 1266, April 18. The tithī should be śu. 13. The epigraph states that as the temple at Tirunalakkuṉṟam (Kuḍumiyāmalai) in Kō-nāḍu had gone out of repairs and there was no money for its renovation, the Nāṭṭar of Kāna-nāḍu and those connected with the temple administration sold a land called the Iluppaikkuḍi-vayal at Ammaṅgainallūr, which was a tirunāmattukkāṇi of the temple, to a certain dēvaraḍiyāḷ of the temple by name Nāchchiyār daughter of Durggaiyāṇḍāḷ for 73300 kāśu. Kānanāḍu is said to be situated in Kuṉṟuśūḻ-nāḍu a division of Kō-nāḍu also called Kaḍalāḍaiyādilaṅgaikoṇḍaśōḻa-vaḷanāḍu. ⟨Page 284⟩

This is connected with No. 352 above, and registers the endorsement (kīḻpuṉaitīṭṭu) of the sale of the land and acknowledgement of the receipt of the amount from the purchaser Nāchchīyār by the nāṭṭār of Kōṉāḍu and the temple authorities of Tirunalakkuṉṟam.

This begins with the introduction Pūmaruviya Tirumaḍandaiyum etc. It registers a gift of two (adjoining) pieces of land at Śikaranallūr in Kuṉṟiyūrnāḍu on the east bank of the river Veḷḷāṟu as tiruvēṭṭai-tiruttōppu to the temple of Tirunalakkuṉṟamuḍaiya-Nāyanār by Śaṅkaraṉ Kaṇḍaṉ alias Kalikaḍinda-Pāṇḍyadēvaṉ of Kuḷattūr in Malai-maṇḍalam after purchasing the same from some specified individuals, residents of the place. The purpose of the gift is evidently to provide a garden where the image of the god was taken in procession and worshipped on certain festival occasions as will be seen by No. 355 below.

The king is given the attribute “who presented the Chōḷa country” as in the inscription above. This records a further gift made by the same donor Śaṅkaraṉ Kaṇḍaṉ providing by means of an agreement with the nāṭṭār for the supply of 10 kalam and 5 kuṟaṇi of paddy every year by the nāṭṭār of Malai- ⟨Page 289⟩ nāḍu (probably by some investment with them), for the offering of Tiruppāvāḍaiamudu to the deity after being taken in procession to the garden (Tiruvēṭṭaittōppu) called the Tyāgañjiriyān-tiruttōppu on the respective days of festival in the months of Mārgaḻi, Māśi and Paṅguni.

This begins with introduction Tirumagaḷ vaḷar-mulai etc. It is left incomplete. It registers a royal order issued at the request of (Minister) Kāliṅgarāyar while the king was encamped at Karaiyūr in Kōnāḍu, making a gift of the village Mēlmaṇanallūr together with all its dues and taxes like kaḍamai, kaṟpūra-vilai etc, to the temple of Tirunalakkunram-uḍaiya-Nāyanār ⟨Page 290⟩ to meet the expenses of worship and other requirements of goddess Tirukkāmakkōṭṭa-Nāchchiyār who had been consecrated, it is said, by Nāchchiyār the daughter of Durggaiyāṇḍāḷ, evidently the same person mentioned in Nos. 352 and 353 above.

The king is given the attribute “who took Īḻam, Koṅgu and Chōḷamaṇḍalam and after conquering the powerful king was pleased to perform the anointment of heroes and victors at Perumbaṟṟappuliyūr”. The inscription registers a sale, as tirunāmattukkāṇi to the temple at Tirunalakkuṉṟam, of three vēli of puravu (tax-paying ?) land at Viśalūr by the Ūrār of that place, at the instance of two officers of the king (Rājagōmuṟṟuvar) Vāṇādharāyar and Gāṅgēyar and on the intercession of the Iraṇḍukarai-nāṭṭār, for 64,000 kāśu. The circumstances of the sale are given, from which it would seem that the Ūrār had been at default for a long period in the payment of the kaḍamai-kīḻiṟai and had also to account for 50,000 kāśu which had evidently been deposited with them out of the amount intended for the renovation of the temple. This is probably the sale-proceeds of the transaction recorded in No. 352. A supplementary sale deed is added to this record figuring the Nāṭṭār as an agency and party for the execution of the sale.

The king gets the same attributes as in No. 360 above. The inscription is damaged. It records an agreement given by the nāṭṭār and the sthānattār of the temple of Tirunalakkuṉṟamuḍaiya-Nāyaṉār, to a certain individual (name lost) of Viśalūr, who had donated three mā of land to the temple, to the effect that they would supply 2 kalam of rice and other requirements of the Tiruppāvāḍaiamudu to the god on each of the four special festival days in the year, when the deity was taken in procession to the temple garden. Incidental mention is made of the conversion of a dēvadāna land at Viśalūr into a tirunāmattukkāṇi of the temple by the Nāṭṭār and Ūrār, on which occasion this gift is said to have been made by the donor. ⟨Page 296⟩

The king claims the attribute “who was pleased to take the chōḷa country”, even in this third regnal year. The inscription registers a public sale of a piece of dry land at Śikaranallūr in Kuṉṟuśūḻ-nāḍu a division of Teṉ-Kōṉāḍu evidently by the Ūrār of the place represented by a committee of seven persons, and its purchase by Nambi Ponnambalakkūttaṉ alias Uḍaiyār Sāṅgēyarayar of Āṟṟūr in Śōḻa-Pāṇḍya-vaḷanāḍu for 2(1/2) paḻaṅkāśu.

This is a damaged inscription, which seems to register a sale of land belonging to the temple of Tirunalakkuṉṟamuḍaiya-Nāyaṉār to a certain Tāyilumnallā[ḷ] a woman servant (?) of Kulōttuṅga[sōḻa*]-Kaḍambarā[ya*]ṉ ⟨Page 298⟩ of Uṟattūr-kūṟṟam. Tirunalakkuṉṟam is said to have been situated in Kuṉṟuśūḻnāḍu a division of Iraṭṭapāḍikoṇḍaśōḻa-vaḷanāḍu. The value of the land is stated to be 50 kāśu.

The inscription is said to have been copied over in the 3rd year of Sundara-Pāṇḍyadēva from its original position on the wall and tiers on the north side of the davaṉa-maṇḍapa, as in its place a new maṇḍapa had to be erected to enshrine the god Tirunaṭṭapperumāṉ. The order for this recopy is said to have been issued by the officer (?) Poṉṉaṉ Gāṅgēyaṉ of Āṟṟūr the (the same who figures in No 362 above), on Mārgaḻi, ba. 5, Saturday, Makhā (= A.D. 1218, December 9. The day happens to be Sunday.)

This records an undertaking given by the Poṟkōyil-kaikkōḷa soldiers of the three regiments of Kōnāḍu alias Iraṭṭapāḍikoṇḍaśōḻa-vaḷanāḍu, to the temple at Tirunalakkuṉṟam in Kuṉṟiśūḻ-nāḍu to collect among themselves every year a specified quantity of paddy required for the several items of daily worship and offerings to God Kaikkōḷa Nāyakar and his consort consecrated by them in the temple, and an amount of 25 Kāśu for the expenses of the tiruppāvāḍai-amudu offerings to the deities on the three occasions of festival in the temple in the months of Mārgaḻi, Māśi and Paṅguṉi.

This begins with introduction Pūmaruviya Tirumādum etc. The latter portion of the inscription is damaged. It seems to record an endowment of two mā of cultivable land (ūṟal-vayal) together with the surrounding barren and saline soil after purchasing the same from the Śivabrāhmaṇas to the temple at Tirunalakkuṉṟam in Kuṉṟiyūr-nāḍu by Munaiyilādittaṉ Kodaṇḍaṉ of Śīkaranallūr in the same nāḍu. The donor appears to have already given a piece of land of his own to the temple for the celebration of some festival in the temple and for feeding Māhēśvaras in a maṭha founded (or built ?) by him.

This is built in at the beginning. It is dated in the 9th year of a king whose name is lost. It might probably be Uttama-Chōḷa. It seems to record the gift of a quarter (vēli) of land free of taxes as dēvadāna to the temple of Kūṟṟakkuḍi-Paramēśvara by the Ūrār of Peruṅkūṟṟakkuḍi on an order received from Vīraśōḻa-Iḷaṅgō [vēḷār] (Koḍumbāḷūr chief) to provide for the daily offerings to the deity. Mention is made in the body of the record, of Madhurāntakadēva.

Intervening into the lines of the above inscription are the following four lines in Pallava-Grantha characters (C. 7th century). The first two lines are repetitions of the musical expressions kaiśika-madhyama a variety of svara and Chatush-prahāra which is a rythmic form of four beats. This fragment is evidently connected with No. 354 of 1904 which is engraved close by and which is a treatise on music said to have been composed by one Rudrāchārya, whose name is also given here in the third line.

This is an interesting document. It states that the temple treasury of Tirunalakkuṉṟam Uḍaiya-nāyanār had been burgled by priests who stole away the jewels and cash therefrom. The theft was found out and a meeting was called of all the (representative) inhabitants of the nāḍu, nagaram and grāmam of the region, who held an enquiry into the offair. one of the priests by name Kuṉṟan Serundivanapperumāṉ confessed to have taken 60 poṉ and shared it with a stone mason. He also implicated the others in the theft but they denied all knowledge of the matter. They were thereupon taken to a court at Mattukurichchi (?) presied over by a Sāmanta and ordered to prove their innocence before the assembled people by holding a red-hot iron in their hands. The ordeal went against them as their hands were burnt and they had to confess their guilt. The culprits were all pronounced as Śiva drōhis and they were deprived of their holdings at Iluppaik-kuḍi, which were now transferred to the temple as Tirunāmattukkāṇi with the cultivating right thereon (kōyiluḻavu-muṟṟūṭṭu.) Such lands as had been sold by them to others were got back on payment of their cost by the temple and those held on mortgage were recovered without any compensation. Other private lands in the village were to continue their payment of the achchuvari and other taxes into the temple as usual.

This is dated in the cyclic year Vikrama which would correspond to A.D. 1520-21 in the reign of Kṛishṇadēvarāya. The middle portion of the inscription is covered by the doorway. It seems to record a gift of the income from the village Iḍaituṟai to the temple of Tirunalakkuṉṟam-uḍaiyanāyaṉār for offerings and worship to the deity, made by (minister) Tirumalaidēva Mahārāja at the request of Vālu-Nāyakkar, an officer of the king's treasury. ⟨Page 310⟩

The king is evidently Māṟavarman Sundara I (acc. A.D. 1216) as in No. 380 below. This registers a sale of 5 mā of land in the dēvadāṉa village Tirumeyyam belonging to the temple of Tiruvikrama-Chōḷīsvaram-uḍaiya-Nāyaṉār at Mēnmaṉainallūr in Kuṉṟiśūḻ-nāḍu by the trustees of the temple and the Ūrār of the place, for 3200 kāśu, to Periyanāchchi Duggai, a dēvaraḍīyāḻ of the temple at Tirunalakkuṉṟam. The proviso of the sale given at the end is not clear. ⟨Page 311⟩

This records a similar sale of another piece of land, 5 mā in extent, in the same village, by the Ūrār and temple trustees to Umaiyāḻvi Periyanāchchi. In this case they also agreed to pay the kīḻiṟai on the land on behalf of the purchaser for an additional sum of money received by thēm. It is possible that Periyanāchchi was the mother of Duggai mentioned in No. 379 above.

The inscription states that this spring (well) is the gift of Iṟaṅgalmīṭṭa Tāḻaiyūr-Nāḍāḻvāṉ, son of Araiśuviṟṟirundāṉ Iḷaiyaraiyaṉ alias Iḍaiyāṟṟūr-Nāḍāḻvān who had the kāval right over Tiruttavattuṟai in Iḍaiyāṟṟūr-nāḍu a division of Pāṇḍikulāśani-vaḷanāḍu. This place is evidently the same as the present Lālguḍi.

The inscription is damaged. It consists of a few verses eulogising the exploits of the chiefs Vāṇarpirāṉ Rājarājaṉ, his son Ponparappina-perumāḷ; and also of his descendants (?) Añjādaperumāḷ and a chief (name not clear) who gets the epithet “Vaḍugeṟinda” ⟨Page 315⟩

This consists of a number of fragmentary pieces of writing in Pallava-Grantha script.

Published in South Indian Inscriptions Vol. XII, No. 7-A

⟨SIIv22p0i0387⟩ No. 387. (A.R. No. 387 of 1906) TIRUCHIRAPALLI DISTRICT, PUDUKKOTTAI STATE, TIRUMAYYAM. ROCK-CUT ŚIVA TEMPLE—ON THE SOUTH WALL. MĀR. TRIBH. SUNDARA-PĀṆḌYADĒVA (II*)—7th YEAR (A.D. 1245).

The details of date are given as [Ṛisha]bha, 13, śu. 10, Sunday, Uttiram which would correspond to A.D. 1245, May 7.

The inscription gives details of the settlement of a long standing dispute between the trustees of the two adjoining Śiva and Vishṇu temples of Tirumeyyattu Mahādēva and Tirumeyyattu-Niṉṟaruḷiya-Perumāṉ, which had resulted in the negleet of their lands and the stoppage of worship in both. A meeting was held in the presence of Appaṇṇa-Daṇḍanāyaka, the brother-in-law of Ravidēva Daṇḍanāyaka (who is said to have taken possession of the nāḍu on behalf of his lord Hoysaḷa Vīra-Sōmēśvara), of all the representative inhabitants of the nāuḍ ⟨Page 316⟩ nagaram and the Villages of Kāna-nāḍu alias Virudarājabhayaṅkara-vaḷanāḍu, and several other important persons of whom a long list is given They sent for the two parties concerned and asked for the accounts as they stood on that day. They then arrived at an arrangement satisfactory to both. The paddy yield of some lands common to them was to be shared in the ratio of two to three. Lands at Ūṟṟiyūr and Maṅgalam except those specifically assigned to one or the other were divided equally. Some dēvadāna lands belonging exclusively to the Vishṇu temple were exchanged for those of another Śiva temple of the place called Vānavaṉmādīśvaram-Uḍaiyār. Certain lands were to go to the priests of the Vishṇu temple and certain others assigned to the Śiva temple. Lands at Aṇḍakkuḍi and Perundurai were to continue in the name of Niṉṟaruḷiya-Perumān as before. The spring to the east was to belong to this god and the stone well near the bali-piṭha to Mahādēva. A dividing wall if erected between the two temples, was to be built according to a specified plan, leaving the western portion of the two temples open. Each temple was to bear its own cost of maintaining the uvachchar playing music in the temples according to its needs. Old stone inscriptions relating to each temple except those which had been cancelled, were to be re-engraved in the respective temples having been copied over from the other.

This arbitration of the dispute by Appaṇṇa-Daṇḍanāyaka and the mention of the conquest of Kāna-nādu by Vīra-Sōmēśvara from an unknown adversary in the reign and country of the Pāṇḍya king, deserve to be noted, as perhaps showing the dependence of the latter upon the former and the friendly relations of the two at the time.

This is built in at the beginning of lines and is also incomplete. It is a verse inscription in characters of about the 13th century A.D. It seems to be in praise of some merchant community whose members made name and money in such cities as Vāruṇāpati, Vellūr Nellūr, Kāñchī, Pūmpugār, Paḻaiyārai and Teṉ-Madurāpuri. It refers to a gift of lamp to god Śiva at Madurai (Māṉēndiya-Karamuḍai-Marudar).

The inscription is damaged in places. It records an endowment of some lands measuring 8 mā in extent, as ūrkkīḻ-īṟaiyili by the Sabhā of Tirumayyam for the maintenance of the Uvachchar in the temple of Mahādēvar, at the instance of the representatives of the Nāḍu, Nagaram and the villages. The epigraph makes a reference to the settlement of the dispute mentioned in No. 387 above. A certain Tiruvēṅgaḍattunambi is said to have made a representation to (daṇḍanāyakkar) Appaṇṇar on behalf of the temple on this matter, in answer to which the above permission was accorded to the Sabhā for the endowment.

This is damaged, and the last few lines are built in. It records an allotment of four pieces of land tax-free in favour of four priests of the temple of Tirumeyyattu Mahādēva by the Sabhā of the place, for the conduct of a festival on the day of Makhā in Māśi month. This is stated to be in lieu of 30 kalam of paddy they were till now paying to the temple every year evidently as interest on ten paḻaṅkāśu which had been originally invested with them as endowment for that purpose, by a sāmanta (feudatory) of the Chōḷa king Rājarāja (III?) by name Iruñjiṟai-uḍaiyāṉ

The inscription is badly damaged. It records an endowment of 35 kāśu to provide with the interest thereon, for the daily offerings to god Tirumeyyadēvar, by Śālāpam Vidiviḍaṅgaṉ of Mānamaṅgalam a brahmadēya village in Viṟaikkūṟṟam, a division of Śōḻamaṇḍalam. Mention is made of a coin called Rājēndraśōḻaṉ māḍai. The epigraph begins with the usual introduction Tirumaṉṉi Vaḷara etc.

This is dated in Śaka 1591, Saumya, Tai 5 (A.D. 1669). It records a sale of land at Malukkaṉpākkam out of the tiruviḷaiyāṭṭam belonging to god Tiruppadi Aḻagiyameyyar at Tirumeyyam, together with a house in the street by the side of the Veṅgaikkuḷam tank, for 300 paṇam (called Tirugōkarṉam Miṉṉal), to a certain Śōlaiyappa-Piḷḷai Gaṅgaiyāḍi of Vānavīraṉ of Madurai, who seems to have been an agent appointed by Raghunātha-Narēndra for the conduct of the early morning service in the temple instituted by the chief for his own merit. A separate piece of land at Malukkaṉ-vayal is also mentioned as having been assigned to one Vīrarāghava-Piḷḷai for management.

The details of date given as [Kumbha], ba. 12, Sunday, Uttirāḍam correspond to A.D. 1369, February 4, according to Kielhorn (Ep. Ind. Vol. IX, p. 225) This recods the sale of the (tenancy) rights over some pieces of land by Śīrāḷadēvar Munaiyadaraiyar Makkaṇayināṉ of Mēlūr in Kāna-nāḍu alias Virudarājabhayaṅkara-vaḷanāḍu to one Tiruvuḍaiyar Piṟavikkunallār of Kuḷamaṅgalam in Mēlai Iraṇiyamuṭṭa-nāḍu said to be a tiruvuḍaiyāṭṭam of Nāyaṉār Aḻagar, for 200 paṇam, which was the amount he had to pay to the latter as ‘marriage money’ for marrying his sister Kāṇaviniyār. He is stated to have also sold his rights over some other lands for 540 paṇam presumably for meeting the other expense of his marriage like the presentation of aṅgabhūshaṇam to the bride and similar items. These kāṇiyāṭchi lands comprised a tiruviḍaiyāṭṭam land of Nāyaṉār Tirumeyya-Malaiyāḷan, one of Emberumāḷ, and a dēvadāna land of god Piḷḷaiyār of a local shrine. The others belonged to private individuals.

This registers the alienation in favour of his son Śīrāḷadēvaṉ of the kāṇiyāṭchi rights with all their appurtenances on a certain specified tiruviḍaiyāṭṭam (and other ?) lands at Mēlśārkuḷam, Dēvimaṅgalam and Mēlūr, and two houses in the latter two places, together with a number of slaves, by Śīrāḷadēvan Muṉaiyadaraiyaṉ Makkaṇāyaṉ of Mēlūr in Kāṉa-nāḍu. As this person who now makes a gift to his son, of some of his possessions, has figured in No. 395 above, which is of the same date as the present inscription, it is to be understood that his contemplated marriage referred to in that record was a later and second one.

This is dated merely in the cyclic year Raudri without giving its Śaka equivalent. It records a decision of Daḷavāy Vaiyappa-Nāyakkar, the agent of Timmappa-Nāyakkar, and the managers of the temple of Tirumeyyam Malaiyāḷaṉ, that the income from Iruñjiṟaiyūr which was a tiruviḍaiyāṭṭam village of the god was to be utilised (in future solely) for the repairs of the temple.

The inscription is damaged. It records the endowment of the village Koṭṭaiyūr renamed Raghunāthapuram for the conduct of the early morning service in the temple of Aḻagiyameyyar at Tirumeyyam by Śōlaiyappa-Piḷḷai [Gaṅ*]gaivāḍiyā-Piḷḷai of Vānaravīraṉ-Madurai, for the merit of Tirumalai Sētupatikātta Daḷavāy Raghunātha-Narēndra. This is dated in the same year as No. 394 above, and is additional to the gift mentioned therein. The donor is said to have purchased the lands at Kōṭṭaiyūr from the mahājanas of the place and having reclaimed them from their wild and fallow condition, settled several Veḷḷāḷas in the place for their cultivation, before making this grant to the temple.

The inscription registers a sarvamānya grant made to the two temples of Aḻagiyameyyar (Vishṇu) and Tirumeyyadēvar (Śiva) at Tirumeyyam in Kāṉanāḍu, by Chellappa Vīra Narasiṅgarāya-Nāyakkar (The kings viceroy in the south), of all the lands in the village which had been lying as Paṇḍāravāḍai (except those which had been already endowed as tiruviḍaiyāṭṭam or dēvadāna). As was the case with regard to all lands possessed by these two temples in common, the income derived from the present lands was also to be shared by them in the proportion of three and two respectively.

This is in characters of about the 9th century A.D. It is incomplete. It seems to record a gift of land for the renovation of some structure (temple ?) and worship therein by Perumpiḍugu Perundēvi, the mother of (a chief by name) ⟨Page 339⟩ Viḍēlviḍugu Viḻuppēradi-Araiśaṉ alias Śāttaṉ Māṟaṉ.

Stones containing this inscription are misplaced and some are lost. This seems to register an endowment of land (at Veḷḷūr) placed in-charge of the Śrīvaishṇavas of the temple of Kaṇḍidēva-Viṇṇagar at Perunduṟai in Kāṉa-nāḍu, by Kaṇḍaṉ Aḻagukaṇḍa-Perumāḷ and his elder brother Kaṇḍaṉ Āḷuḍaiyāṉ alias Kalvāyil-Nāḍāḻvāṉ to provide for the worship of god Tavamuḍaiya-Pāṇḍīśar consecrated by them (it is not clear where).

Uninscribed stone is built into the body of this inscription and its continuation is lost. It seems to record a gift of some pieces of land made tax-free to the temple of Tyāgamīkāma-Viṇṇagar-Emberumāṉ at Perunduṟai by Kaṇḍaṉ Āḷuḍaiyāṉ Kalvāyil-Nāḍālvāṉ, the chief who figures in No. 405 above.

This records a gift of sheep (or cows) by Nāraṇaṉ Poliñjāṉ, a resident of Jayaṅgoṇḍa-śōḻapuram in Valla-nāḍu, for the merit of his wife, for burning a lamp in the temple of Karumāṇikka-Āḻvār at Teṉ Tirumāliruñjōlai in Kīḻkaḷakkūṟṟam which is stated to be a sub-division of Muḍigoṇḍaśōḻa-vaḷanāḍu, which formed again a division of Rājarāja-Pāṇḍināḍu.

The inscription is badly mutilated and damaged. It seems to record some provision made by the Sabhā of the place for (special) offerings and worship to god Tirumāliruñjōlai-Dēvar on the day of Uttirāḍam in the Āḍi month.

The inscribed stones are built out of order. The epigraph begins with introduction Tirumagaḷpōla etc. It records a gift (of money ?) by Araiyaṉ Kumaraṉ of Paṉaṅguḍi in Paṭṭiṉakkūṟṟam a division of Kshatriyaśikhāmaṇivaḷanāḍu on the southern side of the Kāvēri river in Śōḻanāḍu, for burning a perpetual lamp in the temple of Tirumāliruñjōlai-Dēvar.

Pieces are missing in the middle of the inscription. This begins with the usual introduction of the king (Tirumagaḷpōla etc.). It records the endowment of a land called Kuḷakkuḍikkuḷam on the north bank of the river Taṇporundam, free of all taxes, to provide for the expenses of the tiruchcheṉṉaḍai (daily procession with lights inside the prākāra of the temple) of god Karumāṇikkadēvar “who was pleased to reside” in Teṉ-Tirumāliruñjōlai, by the Mahāsabhā of Śrīvallabhamaṅgalam (Śīvalappēri) a brahmadēya in Kiḻkaḷak-kūṟṟam a division of Rājarāja-maṇḍalam.

This registers an order of the king making a gift of about two vēli of land at Mānanilainallūr in Kaḷakkuḍi-nāḍu to the temple of Kulaśēkhara-Viṇṇagar-Āḻvār at Karuvānallūr alias Vikrama Pāṇḍyanallūr in the same nāḍu, at the request of (minister) Kāliṅgarāyar, to meet the expenses of worship and offerings connected with the service called the Maṉamperiyāṉ-sandi instituted in the latter's name in the temple. Kāliṅgarāyar is referred to as a native of Poṉpaṟṟi near Pullūrkuḍi in Naḍuviṟkūṟu a division of Miḻalaik-kūṟṟam. The land is said to have been hitherto a veṭṭiyāṉ jīvitam but now converted into an iṟaiyili-dēvadāna with the kārāṇmai (tenancy) right granted to the Sabhā of Māṉanilainallūr, the kaḍamai and all other dues going to the temple. The record seems to be assignable to king Māṟavarman Kulaśēkhara I.

This is also a label inscription of three lines of writing. The figure is that of a man holding a club in each of his hands. The inscription refers to a threatened destruction of the village and its rescue by one Vaḷaiñjiyaṉ Iḷaiyāṉ Kāḍaṉ who fell in the attempt.

The inscription is built in at its lower end by the platform on which it stands. It mentions the trading community called the Diśai Āyirattaññūṟṟuvar who claim themselves to be the children (devotees) of goddess Paramēśvari of Aiyapoḻil-pura and whose members had business interest in a number of places. A list of them is given below. 1. Tirukkōḷūr alias Lōkachintāmaṇipuram in Tiruvaḻudivaḷanāḍu 2. Kaṇṇaṉūr alias Karikālaśoḻapuram 3. Paṭṭaṇamarudūr alias Kēraḷāntakapuram 4.

The purpose of the record is however not known, being lost in the built in portion.

The inscription is damaged. It seems to record a tax-free gift of land made by the Sabhā of the place (purpose not clear) at the request of Kōrai Śēndaṉ alias Kēraḷādityadēva of Kuḍamaṅgalam in Malaimaṇḍalam who is stated to be a local officer at Māṉanilainallūr in Kaḷakkuḍi-nāḍu, for the welfare of Buddattiruvaḍi of Tiruppāppūr. ⟨Page 355⟩

This is badly damaged. The writing seems to be of about the 13th century A.D. and the inscription is dated in the 41st year of an unspecified king. This seems to record the grant, as Udirappaṭṭi of one mā each of land to (the survivors of) three persons by name Kuḍavaṉ Śāttaṉ Appaṉ, Niṉṟamāl Kāvidi and Pāli Vēḷāṉ (who lost their lives evidently in trying to save the village from the devastation of flood in the great river), by the local chieftain (Nāḍāḻgiṉṟa) Gaṅgaikoṇḍaśōḻa-Pe[rumā]kkaḷ (?). The Mahāsabhā of Marutāntaka (Madhurāntaka)-chaturvēdimaṅgalam is stated to have remitted the taxes due on the lands granted.

This is an incomplete inscription which might be ascribed to Māṟavarmaṉ Sundara-Pāṇḍya II. It states that at the request of minister Maḻavarāyaṉ, the king granted the taxes due to him on (3/4) vēli and one mā and half of land at Māṇikuḍi, a hamlet of Śrīvallabhamaṅgalam in Kīḻkaḷak-kūṟṟam, which was in the enjoyment of a certain Āli Villavadaraiyaṉ of Vaḻugūr, to the temple of Sōmidēva-viṇṇagar-āḻvār at Sōmidēva-chaturvēdimaṅgalam, a brahmadēya in Murappu-nāḍu for the requirements of worship to the deity. The consolidated dues payable on the land both for the kār and paśānam crops are given as [2] kalam, 1 tūṇi and 1 padakku of paddy on every mā of land (wet) and 2 diramam on every mā of (dry) land growing sesamum, millet, etc.

The inscription is mutilated. It seems to record an order of the king to the Sabhā of Sōmidēva-chaturvēdimaṅgalam authorising them to collect every year from the temple of Tirunelvēli-uḍaiyār, 140 kalam of paddy evidently due to the royal treasury as taxes, to make up for the deficiency in the amount required for the celebration of a ten-day festival in the temple of Vēdanāyakar. Mention is made of a certain Yādavasiṁha-bhaṭṭaṉ of Prāndūr who had the right of worship in the temple, and to whom this paddy was to be made over towards the expenses of the festival. Reference is also made to a donor by name Araṅganambi, a Malayāḷa brāhmaṇa but the nature of his gift is not clear. Paḻandīparāyaṉ and Pallavarāyaṉ are two of the signatories at the end.

This inscription is also mutilated and incomplete. It states that a piece of land at Murappu-nāḍu alias Sōmidēva-chaturvēdimaṅgalam which had been assigned as kārāṇmai to Āli Villavadaraiyaṉ of Vaḻugūr with the kaḍamai thereon being paid to the (Śiva) temple of Yōgīśvaram-uḍaiyār at the place was transferred by Vēṇāḍuḍaiyāṉ without the consent of the former, to the temple of Vēdanāyaka-viṇṇagar-āḻvār. As compensation for the same, Vēṇāḍuḍaiyār now purchased (3/4) vēli and one mā of land at Maṇakkuḍi, the eastern hamlet of Śrīvallabhamaṅgalam, and made it over as kārāṇmai to Villavadaraiyar and the kaḍamai to the Āḻvār temple. This is evidently the same land that is mentioned in No. 431 above.

This records a royal order issued at the request of Maḻavarāyaṉ and addressed to the authorities of the temple of Sōmidēva-viṇṇagar-āḻvār newly constructed on the banks of the Taṇporundam (Tāmraparṇi) river by Araiyaṉ Pūvaṉ Vēṇāḍuḍaiyār of Kīḻai-Koḍumaḷūr alias Madurōdaiyanallūr, making over certain lands at the place as tax-free dēvadāna, after acquiring them from their previous owners to meet the requirements of offerings and worship in the temple. This seems to have some connection with No. 433 above

⟨SIIv22p0i0435⟩ No. 435. (A.R. No. 435 of 1906) TIRUNELVELI DISTRICT, SRIVAIKUNTHAM TALUK, MURAPPANĀḌU. VĒDANĀRĀYAṆA-PERUMĀḶ TEMPLE—ON THE SAME WALL JAṬĀVARMAN VĪRA-PĀṆḌYADĒVA—14th YEAR

The king claims to have taken Īḻam, Koṅgu, and Śoḻa-nāḍu and performed the anointment of heroes at Perumbaṟṟappuliyūr. The details of the date are given as Kaṟkaṭaka, śu. 1, Sunday, Pushya which would be equivalent to 1266 A.D., July 4. This registers a deed given by the Mahāsabhā of Pōsaḷavīra Sōmidēvachaturvēdimaṅgalam, a brahmadēya in Murappunāḍu, to god Śrī Narasimha-Paramasvāmi enshrined in the maṭha of Ēkadaṇḍa-Paramahaṁsa in the village, confirming the title of the deity to the ownership of some lands in the village, with their contours and extent specified. This included two plots one of which had been sold in the 11th year of the king for the formation of a flower garden and the other granted in the same year as maḍappuṟam by a certain Śrīkṛishṇa Bhaṭṭaṉ of Iraivānaraiyūr (Elavānāśūr in the South Arcot District), and also a third which was granted tax-free by order of the king in his 13th year of reign. ⟨Page 362⟩
