SII 12.123: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar

Alternative title: “No. 123. (A.R. No. 94 of 1934-35). VṚIDDHĀCHALAM, VRIDDHACHALAM TALUK, SOUTH ARCOT DISTRICT. ON THE WEST WALL OF THE MAṆḌAPA IN FRONT OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE IN THE VṚIDDHAGIRĪŚVARA TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This is dated in the 8th year of Sakalabhuvanachakravartin Kōpperuñjiṅgadēva and records a gift of 128 cows by Śeṅganivā[yaṉ] Śōḻakōn of Araśūr and a mudali of Āḷappiṟa[ndān] Āḻagiyaśīyaṉ Kōpperuñjiṅga, for burning 4 perpetual lamps before the god at Tirumudukuṉṟam in Paruvūr-kūṟṟam, a subdivision of Mēṟkā-nāḍu Iruṅgōḷappāḍi-nāḍu in Vaḍagarai Virudarājabhayaṅkara-vaḷanāḍu.

The date of the record, according to the astronomical details given, was either A.D. 1240, Jan. 11, Wednesday, or A.D. 1251, January 11, Wednesday. In both cases the nakshatra was Makhā, not Punarpūśam as quoted in the inscription. Since the donor is stated to have been a mudali of Aḻagiyaśīyaṉ Kōpperuñjiṅga, the date of the inscription was probably A.D. 1240.

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