SII 13.102: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao

Alternative title: “No. 102. (A.R. No. 23 of 1931.) TIRUKKŌḌIKĀVAL, KUMBAKONAM TALUK, TANJORE DISTRICT. ON THE WEST WALL OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE, TIRUKKŌṬĪŚVARA TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This is one of severāl earlier inscriptions on loose stones which were lying in the temple and were collected and re-engraved on its walls by the order of the king’s mother Śembiyan-Mahādēvī in the reign of Uttama-Chōḷa, when the temple was rebuilt by her of stone from its original brick structure (M.E.R. 1931, II, 9). It registers a sale of land, free of taxes, executed by the sabhā of Nāraṇakka-chaturvēdimaṅgalam, a brahmadēya village of Nallāṟṟūr-nāḍu on the north bank, to the temple at Tirukkōḍikkā.

Language: Tamil (tam).

Version: (3992bd7), last modified (0ec4724).
