SII 12.131: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar

Alternative title: “KOPPERUNJINGADEVA II. No. 131. (A.R. No. 69 of 1918). VṚIDDHĀCHALAM, VRIDDHACHALAM TALUK, SOUTH ARCOT DISTRICT. IN THE SECOND GŌPURA (RIGHT OF ENTRANCE) OF THE VṚIDDHAGIRĪŚVARA TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This inscription records a provision made in the 2nd year of Sakalabhuvanachchakravarttigaḷ Kōpperuñjiñgadēva for burning a perpetual lamp before the god at Tirumudukuṉṟam in Paruvūr-kūṟṟam, a subdivision of Mēṟkā-nāḍu Iruṅgōḷappāḍi-nāḍu situated in Virudarājabhayaṅkara-vaḷanāḍu, by Aḍaippu Tirukkaṟtuṟai-Uḍaiyān Kuṉṟamuttaraiyan, son of Neṟkuppai-Nāḍāḻvāṉ Guṇamuḍaiyān, one of the Paḷḷis having the hereditary right of watchmanship in the temple.

The initial date of this chief is fixed in A.D. 1243¹ by a record from Conjeevaram² which equates the Śaka year 1182 (A.D. 1260) with his 18th year. The astronomical details given in the record correspond to A.D. 1244, November 13, Sunday. The chief may, therefore, be identified with Kōpperuñjiṅgadēva II.

Language: Tamil (tam) [Grantha (grantha), Tamil (tamil)].
