No. 114. (A.R. No. 133 of 1914.) ON THE SAME WALL.

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This seems to be an inscription of Sundara-Chōḷa. The details of the date given, viz., Mithuna, Wednesday, Svāti, correspond to A.D. 961, May 29. This records an undertaking given by the Peruṅguṟi-sabhai of Śrīkaṇṭha-chaturvēdimaṅgalam who held their sitting on the hill of Tiruveṟumbiyūr-Āḻvār, that they would not confiscate the property (dēvasvam) of the temple on grounds of default in the payment of taxes, as the temple was not bound to pay any kind of taxes. The assembly also declared that they would ostracise such a person as suggested, ordered or himself made the confiscation, and would treat him as “an annoyance to the village,” besides making him liable for fine at the hands of the Māhēśvaras.

Language: Tamil (tam).
