SII 13.164: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao

Alternative title: “No. 164. (A.R. No. 104 of 1914.) ON THE NORTH WALL OF THE SAME SHRINE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This inscription registers a sale of land, after purchasing bits of it themselves from several residents of the village, by the assembly of Peruveṅgūr, a brahmadēya in Viḷā-nāḍu to Vēḷāṉ Vīranārāyaṇaṉ alias Śembiyaṉ Vēdivēḷāṉ of Siṟudavūr in Kiḷiyūr-nāḍu ‘who had built the śrīvimāna of god Tiruveṟumbiyūr-Āḻvār,’ for being endowed by him to that temple. They are stated to have received from him in addition to the cost of land, a lump-amount as iṟaikāval-dravyam towards the payment of all taxes on the gift-land. Among the boundaries of the land is mentioned a hamlet forming part of Uttamaśīli-chaturvēdimaṅgalam, a village named after prince Uttamaśīli, son of Parāntaka I. The details of the date agree for A.D. 991, January 15, Thursday, and thus the inscription may be assigned to Rājarāja I.

Language: Tamil (tam).
