SII 13.187: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao – No. 187. (A.R. No. 202 of 1926.) ŚENDALAI, TANJORE TALUK, TANJORE DISTRICT. ON THE WEST WALL OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE, SUNDARĒŚVARA TEMPLE.

Editor: Emmanuel Francis.

Identifier: DHARMA_INSSIIv13p0i0187.

Summary: This records an endowment of a vēli of land for the maintenance of a hall (ambalam) erected by him at Chandralēkhai-chaturvēdimaṅgalam, a brahmadēya in Ārkkāṭṭu-kūṟṟam, by Vayiramēgam Piḍāraṉ of Veṇṇāyil in Mīyśeṅgiḷi-nāḍu, after purchasing it tax-free from the Peruṅguṟi-sabhā of the place. The land was allotted in certain specified proportions for the following services in the ambalam: supply of drinking water (to the wayfarers) during summer, keeping the premises clean, supply of oil for a lamp, supply of earthen pots (for the water-shed); and for general periodical repairs. Vayiramēga was a surname of the Pallava king Dantivarman. This is probably a record of Āditya I (M.E.R. 1916, II, 7).
