SOUTH INDIAN INSCRIPTIONS VOLUME XLI.

⟨SIIv41p0i0001⟩ No. 1. (A.R. No. 1 of 1905.) Tirukkōyilūr, Tirukkoyilur Taluk, South Arcot District.

North wall of the central shrine in the Trivikramaperumāl temple.

Vijayanagara, Narasiṁhadēva, Śaka 1393, Vikṟiti, Aṟpaśi 13, Monday, trayōdaśi, Aśvati (irregular) = 1470 A.D.

The details of date viz., are irregular as the star Aśvati cannot occur on the 13th tithi in the month of Aippaśi.

This inscription refers to the collapse of the mukhamaṇḍapa, outer wall (tirumadiḷ), and the gōpura of the Tiruviḍaikaḻināyanār temple at Tirukkōvalūr, in the Vaḻudilampaṭṭu uśavaḍi for several Years due to the disturbances caused by the Oḍḍiyas (i.e. Oḍḍiya-kalabai) and the repairs to them carried out by Aṉṉamarasagaḷ, the agent of Sāḷuva Narasiṁhadēva. It further records that the lands that once belonged to the temple were restored and made tax-free and the services to the god revived by Aṉṉamarasar. Almost similar copiesof this inscription are found at Nerkunam (ARE. No. 213 of 1935), Arakandanallur (ARE. No. 11 of 1935), Siddalingamadam (ARE. No. 262 of 1937) etc.

⟨SIIv41p0i0002⟩ No. 2. (A.R. No. 2 of 1905.) Tirukkōyilūr, Tirukkoyilur Taluk, South Arcot District.

South wall of the first prakāra of the Trivikrama-perumāl temple.

Chōḻa, Kulōttuṅga III Year 24 = 1203 A.D.

This records the deed of exchange for several pieces of land (details given) by Taṇḍēsvaran of Tiruvīraṭṭānamuḍaiya Nayinār temple at Tirukkōvalūr, in Kuṟukkai-kūṟṟam, a district of Jananāthavaḻanādu alias Milāḍu, as kshētra parivattanai, to the deity Sēnāpati-Ālvān of Tiruviḍaikaḻi Emberumāṉ temple at Tirukkōvalūr. Taṇḍēśvaraṉ also spelt as Chaṇḍēśvaraṉ and Sēnāpati Āḻvāṉ are evidently the representative deities of the Śaivaite and Vaishnavaite pantheons. In enumerating the boundaries of the land the record refers to Kaṇḍaraṅkuśan vāykkāl as also to two inscriptions “Nūṟṟukkala variśai-paṟṟu kalveṭṭu” and “Kīḻvaḷai kalveṭṭu.”

It states that when the members of the Idaṅgai and Valaṅgai classes were oppressed severely by the pradhānās who demanded kāṇikkai tax every Year they migrated from their homes leading to cessation of worship and other calamities and that Aṇṇappa-uḍaiyār got a royal order to the effect that the officials should not collect iṉavari and idaṅgaivari from the community.

Pāṇḍya. Māṟavarman Sundara-pāṇḍya I, Year 10 = 1226 A.D.

Full of gaps. Seems to mention gift of a village called Irāmaṉēri as tax-free dēvadāna by the king. Some existing tax-free maḍappuṟam (endowment for maṭha) was excluded from the present gift.

Pāṇḍya. J. Kulaśēkhara, Year 2. Tulā month, Apara 6, Thursday, Mrigaśīrsham = 1238, September 30.

Records that the king remitted taxes on some land that his senior officer Ayyan Maḻavarāyar gave to a maṭha called Tiruñāṉasambandaṉ at Madurai in Māḍakkuḷakkīḻ which was under the management of Taṟpurshaśivar a disciple of the Āchāriyar of Dakshiṇagōḷaki-maḍam of Chelva-Tiruvārūr. The land was lying in Chōḷāntaka-chaturvēdimaṅgalam in Pāgaṉūr-kūṟṟam. The sabhā of this village also agreed to exempt the land from the payment of their dues, sabhā-vinoyōgam.

Madurai Nayaka, Vīrappa-nāyaka (grand son of Viśvanātha-nāyaka), Śaka 1495, Bhava = 1574 A.D.

Records that the king reconfirmed the sale of some six villages made in the past by some Pāṇḍya king to the Mosque called Dilli-oru-kōl-sulutān Paḷḷivāsal at Gōrippāḷayam on the north bank of the Vaigai River in Madurai-vaḷanāḍu. He did this on the authority of some old document. The six villages were Gōrikuḍi, Chokkikuḷam, Allikuḷam, Kaṉṉānēmpal, Chiṟrutūr, and Tiruppālai.

[Royal flag, insignia (suruṭṭi), kettle, bow and arrow are engraved at the top of the inscription.]

Śaka 1504, Kīlaka = 1668 A.D. (?).

The trustees of the Śanaka-nārāyaṇa-perumāḷ temple received some money endowment from one Ayyāvayyaṅgār for feeding in the Rāmānuja-kūḍam in the temple. The money was to be invested in some temple land and the income from the land was to be used for the feeding.

Pāṇḍya, Māṟavaman Sundara-pāṇḍya II, Year 2 = 1240 A.D.

This is the king's order remitting the mākkalam tax towards viniyōgam by the sabhā of Chōḻakulāntaka-chaturvēdimaṅgalam during both the perumpū and kuṟuvai cropping seasons on the ⟨Page 96⟩ occasion of his coronation anniversary. This was made on representation by the king's senior officer Ayyaṉ Maḻavarāyar.
