SII 1.146: original edition by Eugen Hultzsch – PART III. NOTES AND FRAGMENTS. No. 144-150. INSCRIPTIONS OF THE KAILĀSANĀTHA TEMPLE AT KĀÑCHĪPURAM. No. 146. ON THE ROOF OF THE MAHĀMAṆḌAPA OF THE RĀJASIṀHAVARMEŚVARA SHRINE.

Editor: Emmanuel Francis.

Identifier: DHARMA_INSSIIv01p0i0146.

Summary: This fragment is dated in the twelfth year of Ko-Rāja-Rājakesarivarman, “who built a jewel (-like) hall at Kāndaḷūr.” The mention of Kāndaḷūr shows, that the king has to be identified with that Rājarāja-deva, who caused the inscriptions Nos. 40, 41 and 66 to be engraved, and that he built the hall at Kāndaḷūr before his twelfth year. The inscription seems to have recorded, that the assembly (sabhā) of some village pledged themselves, to furnish a yearly supply of paddy to the temple-treasurers (Śiva-paṇḍārigaḷ) from the interest of a sum of money,¹ which they had received from “the large holy stone-temple, alias Rājasiṁheśvara, at Kāñchipuram,” or to pay a fine of a quarter poṉ daily. The document is signed by [Pu]ṟambi Sūrya of Tiruviṛāpuṟam.

Bibliography

Digital edition of SII 1.146 by Hultzsch 1890 converted to DHARMA conventions by Emmanuel Francis.

Primary

[SII] Hultzsch, Eugen Julius Theodor. 1890. South-Indian inscriptions, Tamil and Sanskrit, from stone and copper-plate edicts at Mamallapuram, Kanchipuram, in the North Arcot district, and other parts of the Madras Presidency, chiefly collected in 1886-87. Volume I. South Indian Inscriptions 1. Madras: Government Press. Page 140, item 146.

Notes

1. The rate of interest was 4 kāḍis of paddy per kaṛañju of gold, which gave (roughly computed) 140 kāḍis for 33 kaṛañjus. See page 117, note 3.
