SII 12.231: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar

Alternative title: “No. 231. (A.R. No. 431 of 1921). TIRUVEṆṆAINALLŪR, TIRUKKOYILUR TALUK, SOUTH ARCOT DISTRICT. ON THE WEST WALL OF THE MAṆḌAPA CONTAINING THE SŌMĀSKANDA IMAGES IN THE KṚIPĀPURĪŚVARA TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

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.’

Language: Tamil (tam) [Grantha (grantha), Tamil (tamil)].
