APARAJITAVARMAN. No. 96. (A.R. No. 396 of 1923). TIRUPPULIVANAM, CONJEEVERAM TALUK, CHINGLEPUT DISTRICT. ON THE WEST WALL OF THE KITCHEN IN THE VYĀGHRAPURĪŚVARA TEMPLE.

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This record of Tribhuvanachakravartin Tribhuvanavīradēva (i. e. Kulōttuṅgachōḷa III), dated in his 37th year (corresponding to A.D. 1215, June 7, Sunday), is included here because it notices an inscription of Aparājita engraved on the walls of the temple of Tiruppulivaṉam-Uḍaiyār. A copy of this record is also found at Uttaramallūr (A.R. No. 67 of 1898). The assembly of Uttaramēlūr alias Rājēndraśōḻa-chaturvēdimaṅgalam, an independent village in Kāliyūr-kōṭṭam, a subdivision of Jayaṅgoṇḍaśōḻa-maṇḍalam, agreed to maintain before the god Tiruppulivaṉamuḍaiya-Nāyaṉār, all the perpetual lamps for which inscriptions were found in the temple. One such record belongs to Aparājitavikramavarman dated in the 14th year and it gives Rājamāttāṇḍaṉ as the surname of Aparājita. This epigraph states that on the day of solar eclipse, the king made a gift of 100 kaḻañju of gold for burning four lamps in the temple. The solar eclipse cited in the record is, however, not helpful in fixing the initial date of Aparājita.

Language: Tamil (tam).
