Summary: This inscription, dated in the 7th year, contains an order of the officer Śōḻakōṉ issued to the authorities of the temple at Chidambaram, to engrave on their temple walls, the gift of a flower garden made after purchase by a dēvaraḍiyār named Piḷḷaiyār Śiṟṟiḍai Arivai and one Iṟaṅgalmīṭṭa-piḷḷaiyār, for providing flowers for the goddess Tirukkāmakkōṭṭamuḍaiya-Periyanāchchiyār and for the maintenance of two servants looking after the garden.

Notes

  1. 1. They also figure in the reign of Jaṭāvarman Sundara-Pāṇḍya (A.R. Nos. 293 and 297 of 1913). It may be mentioned here that ‘Teṉṉavaṉ-Brahmārājaṉ’ was a title conferred on Māṇikkavāchakar by the Pāṇḍya king. It is also possible that the other two names are titles.
