SII 12.61: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar

Alternative title: “NRIPATUNGAVARMAN. No. 61. (A.R. No. 122 of 1928-29). ON THE SAME WALL.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This inscription states that in the 2nd year of Vijaya-Nṛipatuṅgavikramavarman, the assembly of Muttaiyil in Iḍaiyāṟṟu-nāḍu received a gift of 10 1/2 kaḻañju of gold made by Pūdi Kaṇḍaṉ of Kavirappoṟkaṭṭiyūr, on behalf of his mother, to provide rice, by the measure called Nārāya-nāḻi during the seven days of the Chittirai-Vishu festival in the temple of Tiruttavattuṟai-Mahādēva. It has been suggested that some of the inscriptions in this temple are later copies,¹ though it is not stated so in the present epigraph. From the provenance of the record, it will be evident that Nṛipatuṅga’s territory extended as far as the Trichinopoly district.

Tiruttavattuṟai may be identified with Lālguḍi itself where this inscription is found and the village Muttaiyil with Muttayyampāḷaiyam in the Musiri taluk of the Trichinopoly district. The donor of the inscription also figures in another record of the same place,² dated in the 23rd year of Nṛipatuṅga.

Language: Tamil (tam).
