SII 12.97: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar

Alternative title: “KAMPAVARMAN. No. 97. (A.R. No. 402 of 1923). POṞPANDAL, CONJEEVERAM TALUK, CHINGLEPUT DISTRICT. ON THE DURGĪ-STONE FIXED IN THE VILLAGE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This inscription, dated in the 2nd year of the reign of Kampavarman, registers the sale, to a certain Valiyāṇai, of the right of collecting one kāḍi of paddy per crop, by the assembly of Poṟpondai in Kuṟumpuṟai-nāḍu, a subdivision of Kaḷattūrkōṭṭam for the upkeep of the tank Malaiveḷḷapperuṅkuḷam. Kuṟumpuṟai-nāḍu must have comprised the territory round about Poṟpandal near Chingleput town. The god Kuṟumpiṟai-Nayiṉār is also referred to in an inscription¹ from Śālavākkam, a village close to Poṟpandal.

The special imprecation attached to the inscription viz. ‘that the defaulter will incur the sin of having destroyed Kachchippēḍu’, indicates the great reverence with which the town of Kāñchīpuram was regarded at this period.

Language: Tamil (tam).
