This inscription records that a certain Nallaperumāḷ Śaivasikhāmaṇi Bhaṭṭaṉ, who was a priest at the Viśvanātha temple at Dakshiṇakāśi in Teṉṉāri-nāḍu forfeited his right of worship in the temple for inexplicable reasons, in the fifteenth ⟨Page 11⟩ regnal year of the king. The privileges appended with the right of worship such as the ownership of house, gardens and its surroundings and also one and half mā of tax-free land at Ilāñjapaṟṟu, owned by the temple, and other privileges were now conferred on Pichcha Bhaṭṭaṉ Paḍikkāśuvaittāṉ belonged to Bhāradvāja-gōtra and Bōdhayana-sutra. The latter was also conferred the right of cultivation of the lands given. It appears that when the kinsmen (ñādi) of Śaivaśikāmaṇi Bhaṭṭaṉ refused to accept the responsibility (of worship in the above temple after the latter lost his right) this arrangement had been made. It is also stated that the new priest should discharge his duties while enjoying the privileges.

King: Prākrama Pāṇḍya Year Śaka 1384, Mithuna 28, ba. di. 13, Monday, Mṛigaśīrisha = 25th June 1462 A.D. but the day was Friday.

This incomplete inscription records the creation of a brāhmaṇical settlement, which consisted of forty eight ma wet land twenty four mā of dry land, named after the prince Sheṇbagarāma pāṇḍyadēvar alias Vīrapāṇḍyadēvar, Vīrapāṇḍyachchaturvēdimaṅgalam by the king infavour of eighteen Vēdic brāhmaṇas and one brāhmaṇa, who was to read Pañchāṅga. It is also stated that they were to recite Vedas and Purāṇas and read Pañchāṅga before the king.

Besides these, land shares were also set apart to five brāhmaṇas. They were Mālādhara Bhaṭṭaṉ in Śaka 1378, Śrī Kṛishṇa Bhaṭṭaṉ in Śaka 1382, Padmanābha Bhaṭṭaṉ, Nārāyaṇa Bhaṭṭaṉ Parākrama Pāṇḍya Brahmādarāyaṉ and Kailāśanātha Bhaṭṭaṉ along with the above nineteen brāhmaṇas in Śaka 1384. The latter, Kailāśanātha Bhaṭṭaṉ, was to expound Purāṇas. The inscription also narrates in detail matters relating to the land shares i.e., boundaries, extent and other details. The nativity of these donees, their gōtras and sūtras are also given.

It is evident that each of them was to get two mā of wet land and one mā of dry land.

It is also mentioned that he on the occasion of his natal star Mṛigasīrisham, granted tax-free land shares (iṟaiyili-dēvadānam), and garden sites to six Śivabrāhmaṇas (Śivadhvājas). The names and gōtras of the donees are given. It is further stated that these six brāhmaṇas were to perform worship in a cycle of thirty days i.e., each of them were to perform worship Five days (per month).

The inscription then records that land shares were also allotted to five brāhmaṇas who were to render service pertaining to worship (dēvakarmma). They were also given similar grants of land and garden, sites, besides these they were also entitled to receive two nāḻi of rice. It is also stated that the singers of the sacred hymns (tiruppāṭṭu) were also given similar land grants.

King: Māṟavarmaṉ alias Tribhuvanachakaravartti Kulaśēkharadēva Year 14: 1282 A.D. ⟨Page 28⟩

This inscription records the gift of land along with the taxes for conducting services on the occasion of tiru-ppaḷḷi-eḻuchi and for providing food offerings (amudhu-paḍi) to the god, Kulaśēkharaīśvaram-uḍaiyanāyanār by the ūrār of Pāṇḍyanallūr in Amudaguṇa-vaḷanāḍu. The record also mentions the stipulation of one uḻakku of rice towards (the ceremony) Sandāna-sāpam. Three temple personnel Ulagyyavanda-Pāṇḍyan Bhaṭṭaṉ, Rāsiṅga Bhaṭṭaṉ and Vāṇarāya Bhaṭṭaṉ figure as the signatories and they undertook to burn the lamp and made provisions for the same.

The mention of Karunāṭṭaraśar (King of Karṇāṭa) in delineating the boundaries is probably a reference to the Hoysalas who must have exerted influence in the politics of this period.

Damaged and incomplete. It seems that two officials Vaḷavaṉ Mūvēndavēḷāṉ and Vikramaśiṅga Mūvēndavēḷāṉ conducted an enquiry into the past endowments made to the temple at Tiruvoṟṟiyūr by convening a meeting at the maṇḍapa called Maṇṇaikoṇḍachōḻaṉ in the same temple. The inscription recounts the past endowments. Śōḻan Kumaraṉ alias Madhurāntaka Mārāyaṉ, a native of Sāttamaṅgalam in Aṇḍāṭṭukūṟṟam (a sub-division) of Rājēndrasiṅga-vaḷanāḍu, made a gift of seven and odd vēli of fallow land after purchase with gold, in the dēvadāna villages, for performing oil bath to god, Ādhipurināthadēvar, for providing food offerings and also for conducting procession.

It appears the inscription also records another grant. Chandrakramavittaṉ, a resident of Maṇali alias Siṅgavishṇu-chaturvēdimaṅgalam in Puḻal-naḍu in Puḻalkoṭṭam, made a similar gift of land for the same purpose. The details relating to various items required for such food offerings are enumerated and the allotment of paddy for procuring such items are also given.

King: Rājēndra I Year: 31: 1043 A.D.

This incomplete inscription is faintly engraved and erased in several places. It begins with the usual meykīrtti of the ruler, Tirumaṉṉi-vaḷara, which is however, broken at several places. It records a gift of one hundred and fifty kāśu by Chaturānāna Paṇḍita, who owned a maṭha at Tiruvoṟṟiyūr for bathing the god (Mahādēva) of Tiruvoṟṟiyūr, with clarified butter, in Puḻal-nāḍu in Puḻal-kōṭṭam (subdivision) of Jayaṅkoṇḍachōḷa-maṇḍalam on the birthday festival of the king which fell on the nakshatra Tiruvādirai in the month of Mārgaḻi. It further seems to record that the temple servants entrusted the amount to the shepherds of the locality, Tribhuvanasundara-sēri, who bought cows, and had agreed to measure out oil, on the occasion of Tiruvādirai in the month of Mārgaḻi every year by the measure Arumoḻidēvaṉ-nāḻi, at the temple treasury.

King: Rājēndrachōḷa I Year: ⎯⎯

This inscription is badly damaged. Letters are engraved in smaller forms and also erased in many places. Hence not much details could be obtained from this inscription.

It begins with the meykīrtti of the ruler, which is damaged and contains only a portion of it. It seems to record a gift of thirty-eight kāśu to the authorities of the temple (at Tiruvoṟṟiyūr) for providing food offerings to the god during the mid-day service. The temple authorities purchased several pieces of land for this purpose from the assemblies of Ariñjigai-chaturvēdimaṅgalam and Vikramachōḻa-chaturvēdimaṅgalam. It appears these lands were also freed from taxes, as the gifted amount included taxmoney also.

It is also recorded that the madhyastha of Vikramachōḻa-chaturvēdimaṅgalam Mahājana-priyan wrote the deed on the instruction of the sabhā. Several persons figure as signatories to this transaction. ⟨Page 89⟩

King: Tribhuvanachakravartti Śri Rājarājadēva Year 8: 1224 A.D.

This inscription states that an individual, Maruṅkūruḍaiyān Tiruvāṇḍān Chandrasēkaran alias Aḻagiya Jñanasambandan, a native of Paruvūr in Dāmarkōṭṭam in Jayaṅkoṇḍachōḻa-maṇḍalam, made a gift of 12 aṉrāḍu-naṟpaḻaṅkāśu in order to defray the expenses for conducting the procession of Āḷuḍaiyār Kārāṇaiviṭaṅkadēvar around the temple, to provide for his bath and supply various food offerings on the occasion of the asterism (tiruvādirai) day in the Mārgaḻi month. The ūrār of Igaṇaiyūr, a dēvadāna village of the above temple received the gifted amount and agreed to supply various items required for the said food offerings of the temple kitchen, out of the interest accrued from the amount every year.

The members of the ūr assembly such as Amudāṅkiḻavan uraṉ Maṟṟān, Amudāṅkiḻavan Āmantirāyan, and others figure as signatories.

This inscription begins with the meykīrtti of the ruler, Pugaḻmādu-viḷaṅga.

It records a gift of ninety sheep by Peṟṟānmūvarmudalān alias Jñānamūtti Paṇḍitan alias Madhurāntaka Brahmādhirājan, an army general (sēnapatikaḷ), (a native) of Nālūr in Chōḻa-maṇḍalam, who belonged to Vatsa-gōtra, for burning a perpetual lamp to the god of Tiruvoṟṟiyūr in Puḻal-nāḍu in Rājēndrachōḻa-vaḷanāḍu (a sub division) of Jayaṅgoṇḍachōḻa-maṇḍalam. It is also stated that this lamp was instituted for the merit of the king, Kulōttuṅgachōḻa. Four shepherds residing at Tribhuvanasundara-chēri (a street) in Tiruvoṟṟiyūr received the sheep and agreed to measure an uḻakku of ghee daily by the measure Arumoḻidēvan with the temple servants.

King: Tribhuvanavīradēvar (Kulōttuṅga III) Year 26: 1204 A.D.

This incomplete inscription records that a dancing girl (padiyilār) Ulagelamēttaniṉrār alias Tiruvoṟṟiyūr Ammai, supplicated the king to donate a village in order to defray the expenses for providing a palanquin (Tiruvāḍu taṇḍu) so that the deity Vyākarṇadānapperumāḷ could be taken on procession and also for the institution of a service called Tribhuvanavīran-sandhi (evidently for the merit of the king) in the temple. The king instructed Nuḷambarāyar of Pariśai to provide for these charities. The latter ceded in his (King's) twenty seventh regnal year and four hundred and twenty seventh day, with its proceeds of gold weighing 510(3/4) kaḻañju excluding the wastage due to the melting (sēdāram), a palanquin and two anklets (tiruppāḍagam) were made and also the village Kuḷappākkam alias Śivapādasēkaranallūr in Kulottuṅgachōḻa-vaḷanāḍu in Puliyūr-kōṭṭam.

She made a subsequent request to the king in his twenty seventh regnal year to provide for a palanquin to the deity (Perumāḷ), (as the earlier gifts were made to ⟨Page 108⟩ the goddess (Periyanāchchiyār), the king asked Kaḷappāḷār of Pariśai to provide for the same. The latter in turn, donated a palanquin weighing 870 kaḻañju of gold, and also ornaments, Tiruchchūṭṭu weighing 11(1/2) kaḻañju, two siḍukku weighing 6(1/2) kaḻañju, and two anklets weighing 5(1/4) kaḻañju of gold.

King: Rājārāja (III) Year 3: 1219 A.D.

This incomplete inscription belongs to Rājarāja III and not to Kulōttuṅga III, as stated in the Annual report. The record begins with the meykīrtti of the ruler Śīr maṉṉi iru nāṅkum. In the report the king is called Ulagūḍaiya-perumāḷ. The title Parakēsarivarman is wrongly engraved for Rājakēsarivarmaṉ. The king is addressed as one who would take the country he sees and will not give back, kaṇḍa nāḍu koṇḍu koṇḍa nāḍu kuḍāda, a title which we find in the Vijayanagara inscriptions of the later period.

It records that when the king was pleased to appear at Karuvili in Miḻalaikūṟṟam in Pāṇḍi-nāḍu he issued an order conferring the proprietorship of the village Poṉmāṟumāḷigai in Kālvāy-nāḍu in Puliyūr-kōṭṭam in Jayaṅkoṇḍachōḷa-maṇḍalam (a sub-division) of Toṇḍaimaṇḍalam on a certain Pugaḻvāṇayaṉ of Karuvili. It appears that the previous holder Seṅgādavāyaṉ betrayed the royal command (hence it was now given to Pugaḻvāṇiyaṉ).

King: Vīrarājēndra Year: ⎯⎯

Begins with the mēykīrtti of the king, Vīramē tuṇaiyāgavum. It records that the king learnt that lands in several dēvadāna villages belonged to the temple at Tiruvoṟṟiyūr and also paddy, gold and kāśu owned by the temple were left unutilized and were lying waste and, he ordered the temple officials to utilize these to create nivandams to the god at Tiruvoṟṟiyūr. Accordingly sixty six vēlis of waste land in Siṁhavishṇu-chaturvēdimaṅgalam were brought under cultivation and designated Vīrarājēndraviḷāgam. While, its income in paddy, gold and kāśu were allotted under various items of expenses for conducting offerings and worship at the temple for the health of Chakravartin Vīrarājēndra, for the increase of his race, for the prosperity of the marriage-badge (tirumāṅgalyam) of the queen and for the glorious health of their children. The items of apportionment for conducting services include 1. The pay of two priests who worshipped god and of the musician who sang on the occasion of waking up the god from his sleep. 2. the conducting of the festival, Tiruvādiraitirunāḷ, when the god Kāraṇai-viṭaṅka was taken out and was made to hear Tiruvembāvai. 3. The maintenance of 22 taḷiyilār who danced and sang, of one dancing-master who taught dancing, 10 temple-girls who recited tiruppadiyam and of four maid servants, who fanned the god (kavaripiṇā). It is also stated that the king ordered, the details pertaining to various nivandams to be instituted in the temple, to engrave on the walls of the temple.

Various officials, including the temple accountant Nūṟṟeṇmaṉ Ōruppāṉaiyan, the pontiff of the maṭha, Chaturānana-paṇḍita and also the person who made this arrangement of apportionment (nivandam) and got it engraved (on stone), Tanimahēśvaran Āchchan Śivalōkanāthaṉ of Poṉṉūr in Tiruveṇkāḍu in Chōḻa-maṇḍalam, figure as signatories.

⟨SIIv38p0i0132⟩ No. 132. (A.R. No. 132 of 1912.) TIRUVOṞṞIYŪR, SAIDAPET TALUK, CHINGLEPUT DISTRICT. On the west and south base of the central shrine, Ādhipurīśvara temple.

King: Rājādhirāja I Regnal year: 31: 1049 A.D.

The first thirty-four lines which contain the first transaction is published in S.I.I. Vol. IV. No. 555.

Begins with the meykīrtti of the king, Tiṅgaḷer taru.

This record contains three transactions involving a lady called Nāgalavvaichchāni, the wife of Prabhākara Bhaṭṭaṉ of Mēgalāpuram of Āryadēśam. She is described as one who was rendering services (tiruppaṇi) to the Tiruvoṟṟiyūr temple.

The first one was between the above lady and the two sabhās of Sundarachōḻachaturvedimaṅgalam and Vāṉavaṉmādēvi-chaturvēdimaṅgalam. These assemblies sold five vēlis of land freed from taxes such as chilliṟai, śōṟuveṭṭi, veṭṭi, and amañji on the tillers of this land. The land was donated for the maintenance of the maṭha called Rājēndrasōḻan-maḍam, situated within the temple which was constructed by her and to feed the devotees there. The two assemblies sold this land after receiving the price-money in full from the lady. The officials of the sabhā figure as signatories to this transaction. ⟨Page 128⟩

In the second transaction the ūrār of Eṇṇūr in Nāvalūr-nāḍu in Puḻar-kōṭṭam (a sub-division) of Jayaṅkoṇḍachōḻa-maṇḍalam sold 2 paṭṭi or 2000 kuḻi of land after receiving the money from the same donor. The land was also exempted from taxes and it was sold for the maintenance of the same maṭha (maṭhapuram), Rājēndrachōḻaṉ-maḍam constructed by the same donor.

The third transaction dated in the twenty seventh regnal year (1045 A.D.) of the king, refers to the sale of land by the nagarattār of Tiruvoṟṟiyūr (in Puḻal-nāḍu in Jayaṅkoṇḍachōḻa-maṇḍalam) to the lady. The land was also freed from taxes. The lady in turn endowed the land probably for feeding the māhēśvaras, who came to witness the festivals of the God Tiruvoṟṟiyūr-uḍaiyār during the months of Māśi (February-March) and Paṅguni (March-April), in the Rājēndrachōḻaṉ-maṭha. The third transaction which was obviously effected earlier in the 27th year was commited to writing much later i.e, after four years, as it is at the end of this long document.

King: Rājēndradēva II Year 3: 1055 A.D.

Begins with the meykīrtti of the king, Tirumaṉni viḷaṅgu.

Records that an official Aridāyamaṅgalam-uḍaiyār Ādittaṉ Taṟparamporuḷār alias Madhurāntaka Mūvēndavēḷār of Aridāyamaṅgalam in Muḍichō-nāḍu in Kalyāṇapuraṅkoṇḍasōḻa-vaḷanāḍu deposited 40 aṉṟāḍu naṟkāśu at the temple treasury in order to provide food offerings (mantra-pōṉagam) to Tiruvoṟṟiyūr-uḍaiyār during the mid-day and also to feed a brāhmaṇa, well versed in Vēdas and a mendicant before offering food to god (agaramuṇpadaṟku).

The ūrār of Eṇṇūr in Puḻal-nāḍu in Puḻar-kōṭṭam in Jayaṅkoṇḍachoḻa-maṇḍalam who received the amount from the temple, sold 2(1/2) vēli one and half kāṇi for cultivation and 50 kuḻi for residential purposes for the cultivators of the temple land. The above amount taken by the ūrār of Eṇṇūr constituted the price-money and the capital for paying the taxes on that land. The ūrār agreed not to collect taxes such as pūppoṉ, pañchavāram, nīrvilai etc, but themselves agreed to remit them.

It was also decided to induct Amidaraṅ-kiḻavaṉ Ūnamili and his descendants as cultivating tenants. They were to cultivate the land and measure out 75 kalam of paddy at the rate of 35 kalam, 1 tūṇi and 1 padakku per vēli for the stated purposes.

Vaṇakkaṉ Sōmaḍi Tiruvēḷi and others figure as signatories.

King: Vīrarājēndra Year: [2: 1065 A.D.]

This inscription is slightly damaged. It begins with the meykīrtti of the king Vīramē tuṇaiyāgavum. It records that an official Jayasiṅgakulakāla Viḻupparaiyar of Kurukāḍi in Kiḻār-kūṟṟam in Nittavinōda-vaḷanāḍu in Chōḻa-maṇḍalam having been present at Vākkāṇikkum-maṇḍapa in the temple in Tiruvoṟṟiyūr which was in Puḻalnāḍu in Puḻar-kōṭṭam, ordered the assignment of 120 kāśu, remitted by the sāliyanagarttār, who settled in the locality Jayasiṅgakulakāla-pperunteru, which they bought from the nagarattār of Tiruvoṟṟiyūr and karma-kiḻavar, for which they had to remit the above amount towards the payment of kaḍamai to the god of the Tiruvoṟṟiyūr temple. It is stated that this amount was to be utilized for conducting special service on the day of āyilayam, for the asterism of the ruler. The revenue officials, accountant, temple officials gave consent to this arrangement.

It further records that the revenue officials and accountants ordered the apportionment of ten kāśu which the weavers (sāliyanagarattār), who settled at (the street) Jayasiṅgakulakālap-perunteruvu, remitted every month for conducting special ⟨Page 140⟩ services to the god, Tiruvoṟṟiyūr-uḍaiyār, on the day of Āślēsha on which the king was born. It is also recorded that provision was also made for conducting various festivals for the Tiruvoṟṟiyūr-uḍaiyār, Subrahmaṇya, Kārāṇai-viṭaṅkadēva and goddess Tiruvottappiḍāriyār on different occasions every month and was also for distributing prasādam to the devotees and singers of Tiruppadiyam. This arrangement was also ordered to be engraved on stone as per the order of the official, Jayasiṅgakulakālaviḻupparaiyar.

King: Rājādhirāja I Year 28: 1046 A.D.

Begins with the mēykīrtti of the king, Tingaḷēr taru-taṉ.

It records a gift of 30 kāśu by Nārāyaṇaṉ Vēḷi, the kiḻavaṉ of Iḻaiyūru of Āraṇinilai Śiruvarambēḍu alias Mummaḍiśōḻanalūr in Paiyyūr-kōṭṭam for providing special worship and offerings on the day following the conclusion of Paṅguni-uttiram festival in the Tiruvoṟṟiyūr-uḍaiyār temple. The sabhā of Kāvaṉūr alias Kamalanārāyaṇach-chaturvēdimaṅgalam of Kaṉṟigappērūr-nāḍu in Puḻar-kōṭṭam in Jayaṅkoṇḍachōḷa-maṇḍalam, received the gift and undertook the responsibility of measuring out seventy-five kalam of paddy every year as interest, at the temple treasury. Provision was also made for payments to various temple personnel such as potter, bachelor-attendant (māṇi) persons who carry water for the sacred bath of the deity, persons who recite tiruppadiyan, dancing girls, temple servants, garland makes and others, who were apparently connected with the performance of the service to the god. Provision was also made for anointment and offerings to the images of the bhaktharkaḷ-tirumēni (saiva-devotees nāyanmārs).

Records the gift of ninety sheep by Gaṅgaikoṇḍachōḻaṉ alias Uttamachōḻamārāyan, a native of Tiruvārūr in Tiruvārūr-kūṟṟam in Kshtriyasikhāmaṇi-vaḷanaḍu for burning a perpetual lamp to the god of Tiruvoṟṟiyūr in Puḻal-nāḍu in Puḻalkōṭṭam (a subdivision) of Jayaṅkoṇḍachōḷa-maṇḍalam. It appears that he made this gift for the merit of Gaṇavati Iḍumbaṉ alias Taṉṉaimunivarpeṇḍirakaṇṭa Viśaiyaraiyaṇ, who killed himself for the sake of the donor. Three shepherds received the gift and agreed to burn the lamp.

This inscription further records that Nimbaladēviyār, queen of Indaḷadēvar of Talai-grāma in Virāḍa-dēśam made a gift of 90 sheep for burning a perpetual lamp. The shepherds of the Tiruvoṟṟiyūr temple received the sheep and undertook the responsibility of measuring oil at the temple treasury for the lamp.
