SII 12.94: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar

Alternative title: “APARAJITAVARMAN. No. 94. (A.R. No. 433 of 1905). TIRUTTAṆI, TIRUTTANI DIVISION, CHITTOOR DISTRICT. ON THE SOUTH WALL OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE IN THE VĪRAṬṬĀNĒŚVARA TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This inscription in Tamil verse composed by a king, whose name is, however, not revealed, states that the temple at Tiruttaṇiyal was constructed of black granite by Nambi Appi. This person figures as donor in the next inscription belonging to Aparājita. The composer of the present record may, therefore, be taken as Aparājita himself. The structure of the Vīraṭṭānēśvara temple where the present inscription is found, therefore, affords a definite landmark for studying the evolution of Pallava temple architecture.

Language: Tamil (tam).
