SII 13.182: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao

Alternative title: “No. 182. (A.R. No. 683 of 1909.) TIRUNEḌUṄGAḶAM, TRICHINOPOLY TALUK, TRICHINOPOLY DISTRICT. ON THE SOUTH WALL OF THE GAṆĒŚA SHRINE, NEḌUṄGAḶANĀTHASVĀMIN TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: The inscription registers a sale of land as kuḍinīkkā-dēvadāna by the sabhā, the ūr and the dēvakarmis of the temple at Tiruneḍuṅgaḷam, a dēvadāna in Kavira-nāḍu, for 30 kāśu received by them as kaṟpūra-vilai for the temple, to Kambaṉ Maṇiyaṉ, the headman of Śūralūr, with the stipulation that after clearing the forest and reclaiming the land he was to pay 150 kalam of paddy annually as kāṇikkaḍaṉ to the temple. The land was to be irrigated by the same stream called Kumiḻiyāṟu which also irrigated the temple lands. Mention is made of a certain standard grain-measure (ūrkkāl) called Kōdukulavaṉ. The characters belong to about the 10th century A.D., and from the reference made in it to the officer Rājarāja-Brahmamārāya, the record may be assigned to Rājarāja I. Tiruvēḷpūr (Tirugōkarṇam) of No. 174 above was also in Kavira-nāḍu.

Language: Tamil (tam).
