SII 12.32: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar

Alternative title: “NANDIVARMAN II. No. 32. (A.R. No. 537 of 1905). TIRUVEḶḶAṞAI, LALGUDI TALUK, TRICHINOPOLY DISTRICT. ON THE THIRD PILLAR IN THE ROCK-CUT CAVE IN THE PUṆḌARĪKĀKSHA-PERUMĀḶ TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This inscription which is highly damaged, is dated in the 10th year of Nandivarman. It mentions a certain Viśayanalluḻā[ṉ], who may be identified with the person of the same name noticed as the elder brother of Kambaṉ Araiyaṉ, the builder of the well at Tiruveḷḷaṟai in the 4th year of Dantivarman.¹ He also figures as the ājñapti of the Paṭṭattāḷmaṅgalam grant of Nandivarman II² (No. 37 below). Hence Nandivarman of the present record may be identified with Nandivarman II Pallavamalla.

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