Editor: Emmanuel Francis.

Identifier: DHARMA_INSSIIv12p0i0231.

Summary: This inscription, also of the 27th year, records the gift of a pair of silver trumpets called ‘Pichchaṉeṉṟu-pāḍachchoṉṉāṉ’ weighing 55 kaḻañju and a gold anklet weighing 2 kaḻañju to the god Āṭkoṇḍadēva at Tiruveṇṇainallūr by the Madhyastha Udaiyaṉ Śrī-Kayilāyamuḍaiyāṉ of Śeñji. The astronomical details given are regular for A.D. 1268, March 28, Wednesday; but this date falls in the 25th year of the chief. In the 27th year i.e., A.D. 1270, the nearest equivalant is April 6, but the week-day is Sunday, not Wednesday as cited in the record. The name ‘Pichchaṉeṉṟu-pāḍachchoṉṉāṉ’ has reference to the god at this place and to the tradition that saint Sundara was directed by the god to address him as ‘Pittaṉ i.e., Pichchaṉ.’
