SII 12.66: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar

Alternative title: “NRIPATUNGAVARMAN. No. 66. (A.R. No. 461 of 1905). TIRUVĀLAṄGĀḌU, TIRUTTANI TALUK, CHITTOOR DISTRICT. ON THE EAST WALL OF THE FIRST PRĀKĀRA OF THE NAṬARĀJA SHRINE IN THE VAṬĀRAṆYĒŚVARA TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This inscription is engraved below No. 64 and therefore, may also be likewise taken to be a later copy. It is dated in the 15th year of Nṛipatuṅgadēva, and it states that the assembly of Pulvēḷūr in Eyiṟ-kōṭṭam agreed to supply one uri of oil daily, by the measure Pirudimāṇikkam for burning two perpetual lamps in the temple of Tiruvālaṅgāḍu-Uḍaiyār for the amount of 30 kaḻañju of gold received by them from one Arigaṇḍa-Perumāḷ. This person may be identified with the donor of the same name mentioned as the son of Kāḍupaṭṭi-Muttaraiyar in a record of the 24th year of Nṛipatuṅga from Tirumukkūḍal.¹ It may be mentioned that Kāḍupaṭṭi-Muttaraiyar figures in a record from Piḷḷaipāḷaiyam² near Conjeeveram in the reign of Dantivarman.

Nṛipatuṅga’s queen, according to No. 64 above from the same place, was Kāḍavaṉ-Mādēviyār, also known as Pṛithivīmāṇikkam,³ and the liquid measure of the temple was called Pirudimāṇikkam evidently after her name. It was probably after this queen that the Vishṇu temple at Ukkal in the North Arcot district was called Bhuvaṉimāṇikka-Vishṇugṛiham.⁴

Language: Tamil (tam).
