SII 12.58: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar

Alternative title: “Nandivarman III. No. 58. (A.R. No. 48 of 1914). TIRUVAIGĀVŪR, PAPANASAM TALUK, TANJORE DISTRICT. ON THE SOUTH WALL OF THE MAṆḌAPA IN FRONT OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE IN THE BILVANĀTHĒŚVARA TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This inscription is dated in the 22nd year of Nandivarmarāja. It registers a purchase of 1 1/2 vēli of land called Vaṇṇakkaviḷāgam from the assembly of Tribhuvanamādēvi-chaturvēdimaṅgalam by Śandippeliyār (probably a person in charge of the conduct of ceremonies in the temple), for burning a lamp and for providing offerings to the god Tiruvaigāvuḍaiya-Mahādēva. The mention of Tribhuvanamādēvi-chaturvēdimaṅgalam as the surname of Tiruvaigāvūr, which is only found in later inscriptions clearly indicates that this is not an exact copy of the original record, though in the last line this epigraph is stated to be a copy of a stone inscription. Judging from palaeography, the inscription may be assigned to the 11th century A.D.

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