SII 13.157: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao – No. 157. (A.R. No. 122 of 1934.) TIRUPPŌRŪR, CHINGLEPUT TALUK, CHINGLEPUT DISTRICT. ON THE EAST, NORTH AND WEST WALLS OF THE DĒVAYĀNAI-AMMAṆ SHRINE, SUBRAHMAṆYA TEMPLE.

Editor: Emmanuel Francis.

Identifier: DHARMA_INSSIIv13p0i0157.

Summary: The stones containing this inscription are misplaced and some are lost. It seems to register an undertaking given by the mahāsabhā of the village Kāyār alias Kamalanārāyaṇa-chaturvēdimaṅgalam in Kumuḻi-nāḍu, a subdivision of Āmūr-kōṭṭam in Jayaṅkoṇḍaśōḻa-maṇḍalam, to see to the proper maintenance of offerings, worship and lamps in the temple of Subrahmaṇyadēva at Tirupporiyūr in the same nāḍu, with the endowments made by some private individuals of the place. The name Jayaṅkoṇḍaśōḻamaṇḍalam came to be applied to the country evidently after Rājarāja I. Since the alphabet of the inscription is also very late, the record may be assigned to the reign of Rājakēsarivarman Kulōttuṅga-Chōḷa I (M.E.R. 1934, II-15).
