SII 12.59: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar

Alternative title: “Nandivarman III. No. 59. (A.R. No. 199 of 1907). TIRUVIḌAIMARUDŪR, KUMBAKONAM TALUK, TANJORE DISTRICT. ON THE NORTH WALL OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE IN THE MAHĀLIṄGASVĀMIN TEMPLE. The renevation of this temple has been so ruthlessly carried out that all the inscriptions copied in 1895 and 1907 (viz. Nos. 130-159 of 1895 and 193—313 of 1907) are now completely missing.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This is said to be a copy of a record of Kāḍuveṭṭigaḷ Nandippōttairaiyar reengraved in the 4th year of a Chōḷa king named Parakēsarivarman who may be identified with Uttama-Chōḷa. It records a gift of 60 kaḻañju of gold for the maintenance of a perpetual lamp called Kumaramārttāṇḍa¹ in the temple. The title ‘Kumaramārttāṇḍa’ has been tentatively attributed to Pallavamalla, but it may, with greater probability, be applied to Nandivarman III.

Language: Undetermined (und).
