SII 12.52: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar

Alternative title: Nandivarman III. No. 52. (A.R. No. 49 of 1905). DAḶAVĀṈŪR, GINGEE TALUK, SOUTH ARCOT DISTRICT. ON A PILLAR AT THE ENTRANCE INTO THE ROCK-CUT CAVE.

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This is a damaged record of Vijaya-Nandivikramavarman dated in his 15th year. It seems to register some agreement given by a temple servant residing at Veṇbēḍu to a certain Mōḍaṉ, who had made an endowment of one kaḻañju of gold. Veṇbēḍu may be identified with the village of the same name in the Chingleput taluk.

Language: Tamil (tam) [Grantha (grantha), Tamil (tamil)].

Repository: SII original (south-indian-inscriptions).

Identifier: DHARMA_INSSIIv12p0i0052.
