SII 12.67: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar

Alternative title: “NRIPATUNGAVARMAN. No. 67. (A.R. No. 404 of 1905). KĀVĒRIPPĀKKAM, ARKONAM TALUK, NORTH ARCOT DISTRICT. AT THE ENTRANCE INTO THE AMMAN SHRINE IN THE KOṄKAṆĪŚVARA TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This inscription states that in the 15th year of Nṛipatuṅgavarman, the assembly of Kāvidipākkam [alias] Avaṉinārāyaṇa-chaturvēdimaṅgalam agreed to measure one uḻakku of oil daily by the liquid measure Māṉāya-nāḻi, for lighting the central shrine of the temple of Tirumēṟṟaḷi-Aḍigaḷ, with the interest on 17 kaḻañju of gold received by them from Śaḍaṅkaviyār of Kaṇviḻchchil in Ōḍappuṟai. The name Avaṉinārāyaṇachaturvēdimaṅgalam must have been given to Kāvidipākkam after the surname ‘Avaṉinārāyaṇa’¹ borne by Nandivarman III.

The record is left incomplete and it is engraved in characters of the 11th century A.D. The stone bearing this record must have belonged originally to a temple of Vishṇu (Tirumēṟṟaḷi-Aḍigaḷ) in the village and was probably shifted here at some later time.

Language: Tamil (tam).
