SII 13.163: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao

Alternative title: No. 163. (A.R. No. 102 of 1914.) ON THE WEST WALL OF THE SAME SHRINE.

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This inscription is left incomplete. It registers the sale by the peruṅguṟisabhai of Śrīkaṇṭha-chaturvēdimaṅgalam, a brahmadēya on the southern bank, of the right of using the water in their tank for irrigating a land endowed to the temple of Tiruveṟumbiyūr-Āḻvār after purchasing the same from the sabhā of Peruveṅgūr, by Veṇbai . . . . Vēdivēḷār ‘who built the śrīvimāna’ of the God (See No. 51 above). Land for digging a channel to carry the water to the land by means of a sluice from this tank is also stated to have been sold to the donor by the sabhā. This is probably a record of the reign of Rājarāja I.

Language: Tamil (tam) [Grantha (grantha), Tamil (tamil)].
