SII 12.191: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar

Alternative title: No. 191. (A.R. No. 96 of 1906). JAMBAI, TIRUKKOYILUR TALUK, SOUTH ARCOT DISTRICT. ON THE WEST WALL OF THE OUTER MAṆḌAPA IN THE JAMBUNĀTHA TEMPLE.

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This inscription, also of the 16th year, registers the agreement made by the nāṭṭavar of the territory situated to the north of the river Āviṉai and to the south of the Peṇṇai, to conduct, for the welfare of the chief, a festival called Vaṉṉeñjaṉtirunāḷ in the month of Puraṭṭādi (August-September) in the temple of Tiruttāṉtōṉṟi Āḷuḍaiya-Nāyaṉār at Śaṇbai, from the income in paddy assigned for the purpose by Vaṉṉeñja-Nāyaṉār. ‘Vaṉṉeñjaṉ’ was evidently identical with the chief Vāṇakōvaraiyaṉ Rājarājadēvaṉ Vaṉṉeñjaṉ of Āṟagaḷūr, a subordinate of Kōpperuñjiṅgadēva.¹
