No. 116. (A.R. No. 135 of 1918.) TIRUVAIYĀṞU, TANJORE TALUK, TANJORE DISTRICT. ON THE SOUTH WALL OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE, PAÑCHANADĒŚVARA TEMPLE.

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: The inscription is damaged and incomplete. It seems to record a gift of 25 kaḻañju of gold for the endowment of a piece of land after purchasing it (probably tax-free) from the nagarattār of Śivapuri, for a lamp in the temple of Mahādēva at Tiruvai-āṟu by Payitāṅgi Vāḷuva-Nāgaṇi, the wife of Nāgakumāraṉ Vādāvi-Araiyaṉ of . . . . . . Kaḷakkuḍi. Both Śivapuri and Kaḷakkuḍi are in the Tinnevelly district.

Language: Tamil (tam).

Version: (2ce46a2), last modified (0ec4724).
