SII 12.87: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar

Alternative title: “APARAJITAVARMAN. No. 87. (A.R. No. 158 of 1912). TIRUVOṞṞIYŪR, SAIDAPET TALUK, CHINGLEPUT DISTRICT. ON A SLAB BUILT INTO THE FLOOR OF THE VERANDAH ROUND THE CENTRAL SHRINE IN THE ĀDHIPURĪŚVARA TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This record of Vijaya-Aparājitavarman, dated in his 4th year, registers an agreement made by the sabhā and the amṛita-gaṇa of Ādambākkam, a suburb of Tiruvoṟṟiyūr to burn a perpetual lamp in the temple of Mahādēva at Tiruvoṟṟiyūr in lieu of the interest on 30 kaḻañju of gold received by them from Amatti alias Kuṟumbakōḷali, the mistress of Vayiramēgaṉ alias Vāṇakōvarayar, who is referred to as the son of a certain Perunaṅgai. The influence of Vāṇakōvarayar who was probably a local chieftain, seems to have extended as far as Maṇampūṇḍi in the South Arcot district (A.R. No. 233 of 1934-35).

The interest on 30 kaḻañju was calculated at 3 mañjāḍi per kaḻañju (i.e. at 15 per cent).

The puḷḷis are invariably marked in the record.

Language: Tamil (tam).
