SII 3.109: original edition by H. Krishna Sastri

Alternative title: “XI.—INSCRIPTIONS OF PARAKESARIVARMAN PARANTAKA I. No. 109.—ON THE NORTH WALL OF THE LAKSHMINARAYANA-PERUMAL TEMPLE AT SINNAMANUR. No. 443 of 1907.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: The inscription is dated in the 36th year of Parakēsarivarman and is much damaged. It is written in the Vaṭṭeḻuttu alphabet and registers a gift of a lamp to the temple of Tirunaḍuvūr [in] Arukēsarinallūr (which was the ancient name of Śiṉṉamaṉūr), a brahmadēya in Aḻa-nāḍu. The high regnal year points to the king being identical with Parāntaka I. If this is the case, an inscription of Parāntaka I. so far to the south of Madura deserves to be noted.

Language: Tamil (tam) [Vaṭṭeḻuttu (vaṭṭeḻuttu)].

Repository: South Indian Inscriptions (Original Edition) (south-indian-inscriptions).
