SII 12.84: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar – APARAJITAVARMAN. No. 84. (A.R. No. 62 of 1923). PUDUPPĀKKAM, CONJEEVERAM TALUK, CHINGLEPUT DISTRICT. ON A SLAB LYING IN THE COMPOUND OF THE ŚELLIYAMMAN TEMPLE.

Editor: Emmanuel Francis.

Identifier: DHARMA_INSSIIv12p0i0084.

Summary: This is a fragmentary inscription of Aparā[jitavarman] dated in his 3rd year. It seems to register a remission of taxes by the assembly of Nallil[maṅgalam], which is also mentioned in a record of [Rāja]kēsarivarman from the same village (No. 61 of 1923). Nallilmaṅgalam is probably identical with the modern Puduppākkam itself.

Commentary

The inscription is a fragment; the portion containing a few letters at the beginnings of lines appears to have been cut away.
