SII 12.103: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar

Alternative title: “KAMPAVARMAN. No. 103. (A.R. No. 174 of 1912). TIRUVOṞṞIYŪR, SAIDAPET TALUK, CHINGLEPUT DISTRICT. ON A SLAB BUILT INTO THE FLOOR OF THE VERANDAH ROUND THE CENTRAL SHRINE IN THE ĀDHIPURĪŚVARA TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: The date of this record of Vijaya-Kampavarman is not clear. It might be 11, 13 or 16. The inscription records an agreement made by the assembly (ūr) of Vaikkāṭṭūr to provide offerings to the god Mahādēva at Tiruvoṟṟiyūr, on the day of saṅkrānti, for the interest on 27 kaḻañju of gold received by them from Pūdi Aṟindigai, wife of Viḍēlviḍugu [Iḷaṅkōvē]ḷār of Koḍumbāḷūr1 in Kō-nāḍu. The chiefs of Koḍumbāḷūr (in the Pudukkottai state) figure largely in inscriptions as subordinates of the Chōḷas, but their connection with the Pallavas is not so well known. A chief of this family is also mentioned in a mutilated record from Kīḻūr,2 dated in the 11th year of Vijaya-Nandivikramavarman, where the donor is stated to be the wife of Śāttaṉ Maṟavaṉ and the daughter of Vikrama-Pūdi who is probably identical with Viḍēlviḍugu Iḷaṅkō-Adiaraiyaṉ mentioned in the same record.

Language: Tamil (tam) [Tamil (tamil)].
