SII 3.187: original edition by H. Krishna Sastri

Alternative title: “XV.—INSCRIPTIONS OF PARTHIVENDRAVARMAN OR PARTHIVENDRADHIPATIVARMAN, ‘WHO TOOK THE HEAD OF VIRA-PANDYA.’ No. 187.—ON A STONE AT ANAIKKATTATTUR. No. 288 of 1895.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: In the 9th year of king Pārthivēndravarman, the residents (ūrōm) of Aṇai-Akkaraippūdūr made tax-free certain lands which had been already dedicated to the śrīkōyil of Ādityadēva in that village, which was owned by Vaikhānasaṉ Kalinīkki-bhaṭṭa.

We have here the residents (ūrōm) taking the place of sabhaiyōm of other inscriptions. A technical distinction was perhaps made between these two bodies.¹

Language: Tamil (tam) [Tamil (tamil)].

Translation by Krishna Sastri 1920

Hail ! Prosperity ! In the 9th year (of the reign) of king Pārthivēndravarman, we the residents (ūrōm) of Aṇai-Akkaraippūdūr made tax-free the four taḍi of land and the well without excluding (any) in-lying land (and) gave (as) archchanābhōga to this Ādityadēva, as long as the moon and the sun (exist), in the village-site (nattam) of Puḻidikkālneṭṭūr which had been (already) given as archchanābhōga to (the temple of) Ādityadēva of (i.e., worshipped by) Vaikhānasaṉ Kalinīkkibhaṭṭa of our village, by Śēruppōśaṉ Eḻuvaṉ, (his) brothers and (his) junior uncle. We gave (further) as archchanābhōga to this god (the fields) Dēvakuṭṭai and Uṇaṅgaṟppiḍi in the cultivable land of our village and a house south of this sacred temple (śrīkōyil). (To) Kalinīkki-bhaṭṭa who worships this god. . . .

Commentary

⟨7⟩ kalinik=ki(paṭṭa). The inscription stops here.
