SII 13.115: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao

Alternative title: “No. 115. (A.R. No. 359 of 1917.) TIRUVĀṆḌĀRKŌVIL (NEAR PONDICHERRY, FRENCH INDIA). ON THE NORTH WALL OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE, PAÑCHANADĒŚVARA TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This registers a sale of some plots of land to the temple of Tiruvāṟai-Nakkaṉkōyil-Paramasvāmin at Tribhuvanamahādēvi-chaturvēdimaṅgalam, by the peruṅguṟiperumakkaḷ (assembly) of the village, effected in the 28th year of Kannaradēva (Rāshṭrakūṭa Kṛishṇa III) as compensation for the silver and gold vessels and jewels of the temple which had been utilised by them for sabhā-viniyōga (expenses ?) in former years. The sabhā refer in this sale transaction to a land endowed by them to the temple as dēvadāna in the 14th year of king Parāntaka I. The Rājakēsarivarman of this inscription should evidently refer to the Chōḷa king who reigned after the 28th year of the Rāshtrakūṭa king, i.e., A.D. 967 and, as such he can be identified with Rājarāja I. (M.E.R. 1918, II. 23). The name of the village seems to indicate its origin to Tribhuvanamahādēvi, a queen of Parāntaka I.
