Alternative title: “No. 172. (A.R. No. 324 of 1927.) TIRUPPUṞAMBIYAM, KUMBAKONAM TALUK, TANJORE DISTRICT. ON THE WEST WALL OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE, SĀKSHĪŚVARA TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This records a gift of 2 mā of land left in charge of the dēvakarmis for burning a perpetual lamp in the temple of Paramasvāmi at Tiruppuṟambiyam, a dēvadāna ‘separated from the division Aṇḍāṭṭu-kūṟṟam’, by Śāvāndi Kumaraṉ Mādēvaṉ of Iḍaiyāṟṟukkuḍi (residing at) at Vānavaṉmādēvi-chaturvēdimaṅgalam, a brahmadēya in Innambar-nāḍu. The name of the brahmadēya village suggests its origin to Vāṉavanmahādēvi, a queen of Uttama-Chōḷa (M.E.R. 1926, II, 21) or to the queen of Sundara-Chōḷa, the mother of Rājarāja I (ibid. II, 16).

Language: Tamil (tam).
