SII 13.126: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao – No. 126. (A.R. No. 139 of 1931.) TIRUCHCHATTURAI, TANJORE TALUK, TANJORE DISTRICT. ON THE NORTH WALL OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE, ŌDANAVANĒŚVARA TEMPLE.

Editor: Emmanuel Francis.

Summary: This records an endowment of 30 kaḻañju of gold by Vēḷāṉ Tiruveṇkāḍaḍigaḷ alias Mūvēnda-Piḍavūr-Vēḷāṉ of Piḍavūr in Piḍavūr-nāḍu for burning a perpetual lamp in the temple of Tiruchchōṟṟuttuṟai-Mahādēva. The ūrkiḻār-makkaḷ of Koḍiyālam, the brahmadēya-kiḻavargaḷ and the ūrār of the village, held themselves responsible for the maintenance of the lamp. Evidently the same gift is recorded in No. 137 of 1931 also in Sanskrit, the text of which is given below. To judge from its writing and disposition with regard to No. 138 of 1931 of the 13th year of Parāntaka I, this is possibly a record of Gaṇḍarāditya.
