SII 3.104: original edition by H. Krishna Sastri XI.—INSCRIPTIONS OF PARAKESARIVARMAN PARANTAKA I. No. 104.—ON THE SAME SLAB.

This is a record of Parāntaka I. of his 30th year, which mentions a grant by prince (piḷḷaiyār) Arindigai or Arindigai-Perumāṉār, one of the sons of Śōḻa-Perumāṉaḍigaḷ (i.e., Parāntaka I.). The Tiruvālaṅgāḍu plates call this prince Arindama and elsewhere we find the forms Ariñjigai, Ariṁjaya, and Arikulakēsariyār. The term nishka which occurs in the Sanskrit portion of the grant corresponds to kaḻañju of the Tamil portion, as in No. 103 above. According to Monier Williams' Sanskrit-English Dictionary, nishka is a coin varying in value at different times; but kaḻañju in Tamil has invariably represented a particular weight of gold bullion (= about 80 grains).

The puḷḷi or virāma is marked in this inscription in two or three cases.

(Line 1.) Hail ! Prosperity ! The illustrious son of the Chōḷa king, named Aṟindigai, who possessed keen intelligence, who was the beloved (of the goddess) of wealth, who was (the god of) death to (his) enemies and whose greatness was accompanied by virtuous character and good qualities, gave 30 nishkas of gold by weight to the god, the Conqueror of (the demon) Pura, who resides in Ādhigrāma, for a lamp to be burnt always and also gave a big metallic lamp-stand.

(L. 6.) In the 30th year of (the reign of) king Parakēsarivarman who took Madirai (Madura), prince (piḷḷaiyār) Arindigai-Perumāṉār, the illustrious son of Śōḻa-Perumāṉaḍigaḷ (i.e., Parāntaka I.) gave to (the temple of) Mahādēva (Śiva) at Tiruvoṟṟiyūr thirty kaḻañju of pure gold tested by the stone of the village for burning (one) perpetual lamp, as long as the moon and the stars (last) under the supervision of Śēndaṉ . . . . diyappaṉ, a resident of . . .
