SII 12.90: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar

Alternative title: “APARAJITAVARMAN. No. 90. (A.R. No. 190 of 1912). TIRUVOṞṞIYŪR, SAIDAPET TALUK, CHINGLEPUT DISTRICT. ON A SLAB BUILT INTO THE FLOOR OF THE MAṆḌAPA IN FRONT OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE IN THE ĀDHIPURĪŚVARA TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: On this slab of stone, three records are engraved one in continuation of another in the same hand. The name of the king in the first record is damaged, the second is dated in the 7th year of Kampavarman¹ while the third belongs to the 6th year of Aparājita. They appear, therefore, to have been engraved on the slab in the same time; but what necessitated the procedure is not clear. The last record registers an agreement made in the 6th year of Vijaya-Aparājitavikrama-Pōttaraiyar, by the assembly of Maṇali, hamlet of Tiruvoṟṟiyūr, to burn two perpetual lamps before the god Mahādēva at Tiruvoṟṟiyūr, in lieu of the interest on 60 kaḻañju of gold received by them from the community of Māhēśvaras.

The endowed amount was invested with the assembly as fixed deposit bearing interest at the usual rate of 3 mañjāḍi per kaḻañju. The assembly promised also to give two meals daily to the person who came to collect the interest and if they failed in their duty, they agreed to pay a fine of 8 1/2 kāṇam per day to the court of justice.

Language: Tamil (tam).
