SII 12.53: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar – Nandivarman III. No. 53. (A.R. No. 352 of 1908). MĀṄGĀḌU, SRIPERUMBUDUR TALUK, CHINGLEPUT DISTRICT. ON A SLAB BUILT INTO THE FLOOR OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE IN THE VAḶḶĪŚVARA TEMPLE.

Editor: Emmanuel Francis.

Identifier: DHARMA_INSSIIv12p0i0053.

Summary: This damaged inscription is dated in the 17th year of Vijaya-Nandivikramavarman and it mentions the Śēḻiya-Vāṇiyar of Kuṉṟattūr, who evidently made provision for offerings to the god on Tiruvādirai and amāvāsyā days, through the sabhā of Tiruveḷḷikīḻuḍaiya (Mahādēva). This is the earliest inscription in the temple and it probably belongs to Nandivarman III. In a later inscription of the place the god is called Tiruveḷḷikīḻmēya-Nāyaṉār.¹ Chūtavana mentioned in the Udayēndiram plates of Nandivarman is probably identical with Māṅgāḍu.²
