SII 13.33: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao – No. 33. (A.R. No. 306 of 1906.) ON THE SOUTH WALL OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE, RUINED VISHṆU TEMPLE IN THE SAME VILLAGE.

Editor: Emmanuel Francis.

Identifier: DHARMA_INSSIIv13p0i0033.

Summary: This is a record of Rājarāja I. It consists of two portions, a Sanskrit verse and a Tamil prose passage recording the same grant, viz., a gift of 30 suvarṇas (gold coins-kaḻañju ?) by Āditya for feeding a Brāhmaṇa in a maṭha at Gōvindapāḍi. In the Tamil portion his name and family are detailed as Madhurāntakaṉ Āchchapiḍāraṉ, the son of Vīraśōḻa Iḷaṅgōvēḷār of Koḍumbāḷūr in Kōnāḍu. The donor was evidently a later member of the dynasty of Koḍumbāḷūr chiefs who were connected by ties of marriage with the Chōḷa kings, and some of whom played an important part in the military campaigns of Rājarāja’s predecessors against Ceylon and the Pāṇḍyas (S.I.I. V, No. 980 and M.E.R. 1908, paras 84-91).
