SII 13.103: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao

Alternative title: “No. 103. (A.R. No. 123 of 1931.) TIRUCHCHATTURAI, TANJORE TALUK, TANJORE DISTRICT. ON THE NORTH WALL OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE, ŌDANAVANĒŚVARA TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This inscription is damaged and the portion from the 5th line onwards is engraved in smaller characters. It seems to record an endowment in land for feeding two Brahmans, a Brahmaṅ woman and some yōgis in the temple every day, made by two ladies Nakkaṉ Kavaḍiyakkaṉ and her sister Nakkaṉ Vichchiyakkaṉ, both daughters of a certain Dēvaṉār of the village. As both these persons also figure in No. 122 of 1931 of the 23rd year of Parāntaka I, the present record is attributed to Sundara-Chōḷa in the M.E.R. for 1931, II. 4. But it may with greater possibility, be assigned to Parāntaka’s son and nearer successor Gaṇḍarāditya.

Language: Tamil (tam) [Tamil (tamil)].
