SII 12.107: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar – KAMPAVARMAN. No. 107. (A.R. No. 227 of 1915). BRAHMADĒŚAM, CHEYYAR TALUK, NORTH ARCOT DISTRICT. ON THE SOUTH WALL OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE IN THE CHANDRAMAUḶĪŚVARA TEMPLE.

Summary: It is stated in this record of Vijaya-Kampavarman, dated in the 20th year, that a member of the āḷum-gaṇattār of Kāvadippākkam in Paḍuvūr-kōṭṭam made a gift of 11 kaḻañju of gold for supplying, from the interest on this amount, water to the temple of Tiruppondaip-Perumānaḍigaḷ at Rājamalla-chaturvēdimaṅgalam. This village may be identified with Brahmadēśam itself where the present inscription is found. Since we find an inscription of the Gaṅga king Rājamalla, the grandson of Śrīpurusha at Vaḷḷimalai¹ not very far from Brahmadēśam, Rājamalla-chaturvēdimaṅgalam, may have been called so after this Gaṅga king. It may be mentioned that in the region surrounding Brahmadēśam there are villages called Srīpurushamaṅgalam² and Raṇavikrama chaturvēdimaṅgalam³ which must have been named after the Gaṅga kings Śrīpurusha and Raṇavikrama, the grandfather and father respectively of Rājamalla. The name of the god at Brahmadēśam viz., Tiruppondai-Perumānaḍigaḷ is uncommon in the Tamil country and it is probably to be traced to some Gaṅga or Western Chāḷukya⁴ princess.
