SII 12.95: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar – APARAJITAVARMAN. No. 95. (A.R. No. 435 of 1905). ON THE SAME WALL.

Editor: Emmanuel Francis.

Identifier: DHARMA_INSSIIv12p0i0095.

Summary: This inscription refers to a remission of taxes made by the assembly of Tiruttaṇiyal in the 18th year of Vijaya-Aparājitavikramavarman, on 1000 kuḻi of land situated to the north of the temple, purchased by Nambi Appi from the cultivators of the village and given over to the dharmigaḷ of the village for providing offerings to and burning two twilight lamps in the temple of Tiruvīraṭṭānattudēva in the same village. The donor is evidently identical with the builder of the temple mentioned in the above inscription. The dharmigaḷ were perhaps a body that managed the charitable endowments and trust property in the village.
