SII 13.130: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao – No. 130. (A.R. No. 382 of 1905.) ON THE WEST AND SOUTH WALLS OF THE SAME SHRINE.

Editor: Emmanuel Francis.

Identifier: DHARMA_INSSIIv13p0i0130.

Summary: This inscription registers a gift of 90 sheep for burning a lamp in the temple of Kīrttimā[r*]ttāṇḍa-Kāḷap[ri*]yadēva by Śambakkaṉ, son of Pandippāraṉ Kumara-Śeṭṭi, a merchant of Kīrttimā[r*]ttāṇḍa-Kāḷap[ri*]yam village in Siṟutimiri-nāḍu, a district in Paḍuvūr-kōṭṭam. The late Mr. V.Venkayya surmised that the temple might have owed its origin to the Rāshṭrakūṭa king Kṛishṇa III in whose Karhāḍ inscription (Epigraphia Indica, Vol. IV, p. 281), the king is stated to have encamped at Mēlpāḍi for constructing temples to Kālapriya, Gaṇḍamārttāṇḍa, Kṛishṇēśvara and others (M.E.R. 1906, II. 21). The Rājakēsarivarman of this inscription was very probably Sundara-Chōḷa.
