SII 1.74: original edition by Eugen Hultzsch – PART II. TAMIL AND GRANTHA INSCRIPTIONS. IV. INSCRIPTIONS AT TIRUMALAI NEAR POLŪR. No. 74. ON THE OUTER WALL OF THE DOORWAY, WHICH LEADS TO THE PAINTED CAVE AT TIRUMALAI, TO THE LEFT OF THE ENTRANCE.

Editor: Emmanuel Francis.

Identifier: DHARMA_INSSIIv01p0i0074.

Summary: This inscription is dated in the twentieth year of Tribhuvanachakravartin Rājarājadeva, which, according to the Poygai inscriptions (Nos. 59 to 64), would correspond to the Śaka year 11-57-58. The donor was Rājagambhīra-Śambuvarāyaṉ, who bore the birudas Attimallaṉ1 and Śambukula-Perumāḷ (i.e., the Perumāḷ of the Śambu race).2 The object granted seems to have been the village of Rājagambhīra-nallūr, which had evidently received its name from that of the donor.3
