SII 13.27: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao – No. 27. (A.R. No. 518 of 1905.) TIRUVEḶḶAṞAI, TRICHINOPOLY TALUK, TRICHINOPOLY DISTRICT. ON THE ROCK IN FRONT OF THE JAMBUNĀTHA TEMPLE.

Editor: Emmanuel Francis.

Identifier: DHARMA_INSSIIv13p0i0027.

Summary: The date of this inscription has been read in the M.E.R. for 1906 as 3[0]. The letters look more like 3~ṉṟuvatu than 3 10~Āvatu and this seems to be the correct reading, since we have not come across a date later than the 27th year for any king bearing the mere name Rājakēsarivarman. This records an endowment of 70 kaḻañju of gold left in charge of the Mūlaparishad of Tiruveḷḷaṟai by Śāttuvāy Kāñjaṉ Dāmōdiraṉ, a resident of the village, for feeding a Brāhmaṇa versed in the Vēdas, every noon after offering in the temple of Tiruvāṉaikkal-Perumānaḍigaḷ.
