SII 12.174: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar – No. 174. (A.R. No. 302 of 1913). ON THE NORTH WALL OF THE THIRD PRĀKĀRA IN THE SAME (NAṬARĀJA) TEMPLE.

Editor: Emmanuel Francis.

Identifier: DHARMA_INSSIIv12p0i0174.

Summary: This inscription records an order of the same officer issued in the 12th year, to the authorities of the temple at Chidambaram, to engrave on the walls of their temple a grant of land in Vīranārāyaṇanallūr, hamlet of Ālampāḍi alias Kulōttuṅgaśōḻanallūr made for forming a flower garden called ‘Tuḍand-aḍimai-koṇḍāṉ’ for the welfare of his master. Additional lands were also provided at Poṉmēndaperumāḷmaṅgalam in Kuṟuñji-vaḷanāḍu, a subdivision of Rājādhirāja-vaḷanāḍu and a portion of the produce of these lands was given for the maintenance of two servants looking after the above garden. Ālampāḍi may be identified with the village of the same name in the Chidambaram taluk. In l. 20 the chief, evidently the elder Peruñjinga, is referred to as Nāyanār Aḻagiyaśīyar alias Tamiḻnāḍu-kāttāṉ Pallavaraiyar (i.e., the Pallava who protected the Tamil country) which is also found in the Tiruvaṇṇāmalai inscription (No. 480 of 1902).
