SII 3.33: original edition by Eugen Julius Theodor Hultzsch

Alternative title: “IV.—INSCRIPTIONS AT MANIMANGALAM. No. 33.—ON THE WEST WALL OF THE MANDAPA IN THE RAJAGOPALA-PERUMAL TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This inscription is dated in the 4th year of the reign of Parakēsarivarman, alias Vikrama-Chōḷadēva (1. 17), and opens with an introduction which resembles that of the Tañjāvūr inscription of this king, but is only partially preserved. It records that certain land was purchased from the villagers and granted to the temple. The land was situated in Pulvāyppāppāṉ-Kuḷattūr—evidently a portion of the village of Kuḷattūr which is referred to in No. 27 above.

Language: Tamil (tam) [Grantha (grantha), Tamil (tamil)].

Translation by Hultzsch 1899

(Line 1.) Hail ! Prosperity ! In the 4th year (of the reign) of king Parakēsarivarman, alias the emperor of the three worlds, Śrī-Vikrama-Śōḻadēva, who, etc.1

(L. 18.) The hand-writing, (referring to) a deed of sale (vilaiy-āvaṇam) of land,2 of us, the great assembly of Maṇimaṅgalam, alias Pāṇḍiyaṉai-irumaḍi-mēṉ-koṇḍa-Śōḻachaturvēdimaṅgalam, in Kuṉṟattūr-nāḍu, (a subdivision) of Kulōttuṅga-Śōḻavaḷanāḍu, (a district) of Jayaṅkoṇḍa-Śōḻa-maṇḍalam.

(L. 19.) We have sold the following land to Kēśavaṉ Pērāyiram-uḍaiyāṉ, alias Taṇḍaganāḍ-uḍaiyāṉ, the headman of Nuḷappiyāṟu3 in Ambattūr-nāḍu,4 (a subdivision) of Puḻaṟ-kōṭṭam,5 alias Rājēndra-Śōḻa-vaḷanāḍu.

(L. 20.) Land in [Pulvā]yppāppā[ṉ-Kuḷattūr], a hamlet on the west of this village. (The northern boundary is) to the south of the pond of I[ḍaiyaṉkāḍu]; (the southern boundary is) to the north of the boundary of Māgaṇūr;6 the eastern boundary (is) to the west of Kaḷaruṅ[ga]ḻi; and the western boundary (is) to the east of the pond.

(L. 22.) We, the great assembly, sold (1) the field of one-quarter (vēli), enclosed within these four boundaries, (which measures) from old times 1,500—one thousand and five hundred (kuḻi), including the large field of Nambi-naṅgai, and (2) half (a vēli) of land (called) Naḍuvu-[ti]ruttichchey, to (the temple of) Vaṇḍuvarāpati-Tiruvāykkulatt-Āḻvār in this village, in order that (the god) might receive offerings after having bathed on the day on which (he) is carried out for the Tiruvurōśaṇi (festival), (which takes place) every month on (the day of) Rōhiṇī, the nakshatra of the birth (of the god) of our village.

(L. 25.) This was written under order by Maṇimaṅgalam-uḍaiyāṉ Ilakkuvaṇaṉ (i.e. Lakshmaṇa) Rāmadēvaṉ.
