SII 12.206: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar – No. 206. (A.R. No. 432 of 1921). TIRUVEṆṆAINALLŪR, TIRUKKOYILUR TALUK, SOUTH ARCOT DISTRICT. ON THE WEST WALL OF THE MAṆḌAPA CONTAINING THE SŌMĀSKANDA IMAGES IN THE KṚIPĀPURĪŚVARA TEMPLE.

Editor: Emmanuel Francis.

Identifier: DHARMA_INSSIIv12p0i0206.

Summary: This inscription records that the chief exempted, from his 18th year, the garden called ‘Ānaikku-araśu-vaḻaṅgum-perumāḷ¹-tiruttōppu’ at Tiruveṇṇainallūr and ‘Kōpperuñjiṅgan-tōppu’ at Śīḻagampaṭṭi which he had presented to the temple and also other dēvadāna lands from payment of taxes and that he ordered the amount thus remitted to be utilised for rearing gardens (tōppu) and with the balance, if any, to provide for worship and repairs in the temple of Āṭkoṇḍadēva at Tiruveṇṇainallūr. The epithet Āṉaikku-araśu-vaḻaṅgum-perumāḷ which means ‘he who gave away the kingdom for an elephant’ has not been met with before, and it is not known what incident it refers to. The document is attested by Kōpperuñjiṅga, Toṇḍaimāṉ, Viḻuppādarāyaṉ and Kurukulattaraiyaṉ.
