No. 108. (A.R. No. 236 of 1911.) KUMBAKŌṆAM, KUMBAKONAM TALUK, TANJORE DISTRICT. ON THE WEST WALL OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE, NĀGĒŚVARA TEMPLE.

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This registers an endowment of 70 Īḻakkāśu in gold, made in the 3rd year of Parakēsarivarman ‘who took the head of Vīra-Pāṇḍya’ by Dēvaṉ Kuppai of the Vīraśōḻa-teriñja-Kaikkōḷar community (See No. 45 above) to the temple of Tirukīḻkōṭṭattu-Paramasvāmi at Tirukkuḍamukkil, a dēvadāna in Pāmbūr-nāḍu, on the northern bank (of the Kāvēri). Out of the interest on this amount, offerings and worship were to be provided thrice a day to the silver image (of the god ?) set up in the temple by the donor. The reason for this agreement after the lapse of some time is not clear. The inscription being obviously of the time of a Rājakēsari who was the successor of ‘Parakēsari,’ the victor over ‘Vīra-Pāṇḍya’, i.e., Āditya II Karikāla, it should be assigned to Rājarāja I.

Language: Tamil (tam).
