No. 135. (A.R. No. 488 of 1921). TIRUVEṆṆAINALLŪR, TIRUKKOYILUR TALUK, SOUTH ARCOT DISTRICT. ON THE WEST WALL OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE IN THE VAIKUṆṬHA-PERUMĀḶ TEMPLE.

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: A grant of 475 kuḻi of garden land is recorded in this inscription, dated in the 3rd year, by Tiruchchiṟṟambalamuḍaiyāṉ Sundarapāṇḍya-Brahmārāyaṉ of Śōḻakulāntaka-chaturvēdimaṅgalam, a brahmadēya in Pāgaṉūr-kūṟṟam, a subdivision of Pāṇḍimaṇḍalam, for offerings to the god Vaikuṇṭhatt-Emberumāṉ at Tiruveṇṇainallūr, a brahmadēya in Tirumuṉaippāḍi Tiruveṇṇainallūr-nāḍu in Rājarāja-vaḷanāḍu, on the 7th day of the festival in the months of Āṉi (May-June) and Puraṭṭādi (August-September).

The village Śōḻakulāntaka-chaturvēdimaṅgalam is evidently called so after the surname Śōḻāntaka¹ or Śōḻakulāntaka of the early Pāṇḍya king Vīra-Pāṇḍya or Jaṭāvarman Śrīvallabha (Ep. Rep. for 1910, para. 31). This village may be identified with Teṉkarai in the Nilakkottai taluk of the Madura district.

The inscription mentions also a grain measure called Adigaināyakaṉ-marakkāl, probably named after the deity at Tiruvadigai.

The astronomical details cited in the record are not regular.

Language: Tamil (tam).
