SII 1.47: original edition by Eugen Hultzsch

Alternative title: “PART II. TAMIL AND GRANTHA INSCRIPTIONS. II. INSCRIPTIONS IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD OF VELŪR. No. 47. ON A STONE AT ŚATTUVĀCHCHERI NEAR VELŪR.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This and the next-following two inscriptions are dated on the same day of the yuva year, which was current after the expiration of the Śaka year 1497, and during the reign of the mahāmaṇḍaleśvara Śrīraṅga-deva-mahārāyar. They record grants to the Vellore Temple, which were made at the request of Śiṉṉa-Bommu-nāyaka of Velūr by Kṛishṇappa-nāyaka Ayyaṉ, with the consent of Śrīraṅga-deva-mahārāyar.

The Śrīraṅga-deva mentioned in Nos. 47 to 49 is Śrīraṅgarāya I. of Karṇāṭa, of whom we have copper-plate grants of Śaka 1497 and 1506¹. An inscription of his tributary Kṛishṇappa-nāyaka dated Śaka 1500 has been translated by Mr. Rice.² On Śiṉṉa-Bommu-nāyaka of Velūr, see the introduction of No. 43.

The inscription No. 47 records the gift of the village of Śattuvāchcheri, where it is still found.

Languages: Sanskrit (san), Tamil (tam).
