No. 189. (A.R. No. 447 of 1921). TIRUVEṆṆAINALLŪR, TIRUKKOYILUR TALUK, SOUTH ARCOT DISTRICT. ON THE WALL OF THE VERANDAH IN THE SOUTH PRĀKĀRA (BEHIND THE AṞUVATTUMŪVAR IMAGES) IN THE KṚIPĀPURĪŚVARA TEMPLE.

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This inscription, dated in the 15th year, states that, on the death of a certain Tirumalaiy-Aḻagiyāṉ alias Vīragaḷvīrap-Pallavaraiyaṉ,1 9 (1/2) mā of dry land in Ēmappērūr and Tiruveṇṇainallūr belonging to him was given by Peruñjiṅga as tirukkai-vaḻakkam to his mudali Rājarājadēvaṉ Ammaiyaṉ Vāḷavarāyaṉ. This officer in his turn gave it with the consent of his lord as tiruviḷakkuppuṟam for burning lamps in the temple at Tiruveṇṇainallūr, a brahmadēya in Tirumuṉaippāḍi Tiruveṇṇainallūr-nāḍu, a subdivision of Rājarāja-vaḷanāḍu. A further gift of 800 kuḻi of land for a flowergarden, probably by the same officer, is referred to in the concluding portion of the record.

The date intended was probably A.D. 1257, March 14, Wednesday; on this day, the tithi was dvādaśī and not ēkādaśī as given in the inscription. For the previous day, however, (i.e.,) March 13, Tuesday, the details are regular.

Language: Tamil (tam).
