SII 12.169: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar

Alternative title: “No. 169. (A.R. No. 450 of 1919). ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE SAME ‘ROCK’.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This epigraph dated in the same year, registers a gift of a lamp-stand and cows for burning a perpetual lamp before the god Aruḷāḷap-Perumāḷ, ‘who was pleased to stand at Tiruvattiyūr in Kāñchīpuram’ in Eyiṟ-kōṭṭam, a district of Jayaṅgoṇḍaśōḻamaṇḍalam, by Nārāyaṇaṉ Śaṁkaraṉ of Koḍumuṇḍai, a nāyaka of Malai-maṇḍalam. Malai-maṇḍalam is the Chēra country on the west coast and the people of this tract are frequently met with in inscriptions found outside their territory. They figure mostly as traders in which capacity they seem to have gone far into the interior of South India.

The astronomical citations in the record are regular for A.D. 1254, July 20, Monday.

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