SII 12.69: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar – NRIPATUNGAVARMAN. No. 69. (A.R. No. 257 of 1912). ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE SAME WALL.

Editor: Emmanuel Francis.

Identifier: DHARMA_INSSIIv12p0i0069.

Summary: This record states that, in the 16th year of Nṛipatuṅgavarman, the committee (gaṇapperumakkaḷ) of the temple called Śailēśvaram agreed to provide offerings during the mid-day service of the god Mahādēva at Śailēśvaram in Paramēśvaramaṅgalam in lieu of the interest on 11 kaḻañju of gold received by them from Nandi-Niṟaimati, son of Maṟamaḍakki-Viḻuppēraraiyar of Maṇṇaikuḍi. Udayachandra, the general of the Pallava king Nandivarman Pallavamalla claims to have defeated a Pāṇḍya king at Maṇṇaikkuḍi¹ and if ‘Maṇṇaikuḍi Maṟamaḍakki’ is taken as an epithet of Viḻuppēraraiyar in the sense of ‘he who humbled the pride (of the enemy) at Maṇṇaikkuḍi’, it may be presumed that one of the ancestors of Viḻuppēraraiyar had taken some part in the Pallava campaigns. But as there are villages actually known by the names of Maṇṇakkuḍi and Maṟamaḍakki in the Arantangi taluk of the Tanjore district, it is also possible that the native village and hamlet of this Viḻuppēraraiyar are simply mentioned in this inscription (i.e.) Viḻuppēraraiyar of Maṟamaḍakki near Maṇṇaikkuḍi.
