Alternative title: “DANTIVARMAN. No. 42. (A.R. No. 283 of 1916). TOṆḌŪR, GINGEE TALUK, SOUTH ARCOT DISTRICT. ON A BOULDER IN A FIELD NEAR THE ‘VIṆṆAMPĀṞAI-ROCK’.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This inscription¹ is dated in the 6th year of Vijaya-Dantivikramavarman and it registers a gift of 16 kaḻañju of gold by Viṇṇakōvaraiyar, probably a chieftain of the locality, to provide, from the interest on the amount, offerings to the goddess Ēṟṟuk-Kuṉṟaṉār-Bhaṭṭāri for the merit of Udāraḍi and Nambi . . . . . . who fell in an encounter. The food offered to the god was used for feeding pilgrims and the gold endowed was received by the assembly of Aruvāgūr in Śiṅgapura-nāḍu. Certain specified members of the Vārigam were nominated to see that the assembly maintained this charity properly. The village Aruvāgūr which is stated to have been situated to the east of the road, may be identified with Arugāvūr in the Gingee taluk.

Language: Tamil (tam).
