SII 13.214: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao

Alternative title: No. 214. (A.R. No. 283 of 1911.) TILLAISTHĀNAM, TANJORE TALUK, TANJORE DISTRICT. ON THE SOUTH WALL OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE, GHṚITASTHĀNĒŚVARA TEMPLE.

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: The inscription is slightly damaged. It registers the gift of two forehead plates to the deity out of about 14 kaḻañju of gold collected as fine from 3 members of the nagarattār community of the village by Ayaṉ Kāmakkōḍaṉār while he was the investigating officer of the affairs of the temple (śrīkāryam) at Tirune[y*]ttāṉam. The name of one of the nagarattār is given as Ariñjigai Neyttāṉaṉ. This is possibly a record of the reign of Sundara-Chōḷa.

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

Repository: SII original (south-indian-inscriptions).
