SII 13.222: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao – No. 222. (A.R. No. 712 of 1909.) ĀLAMBĀKKAM, LALGUDI TALUK, TRICHINOPOLY DISTRICT. ON THE SOUTH WALL OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE, VARADARĀJA-PERUMĀḶ TEMPLE.

Editor: Emmanuel Francis.

Identifier: DHARMA_INSSIIv13p0i0222.

Summary: This inscription is mutilated and is incomplete. It registers a gift of land tax-free, after purchasing it from the sabhā of Dantivarmamaṅgalam, by a resident of the village called Mūtta Bhavasēna-[Krama]vittaṉ, for providing for offerings and a perpetual lamp in the temple of Tiruviśalūr-Perumānaḍigaḷ in the village. The land is stated to have been irrigated from the tank called Māṟpiḍugēri. Māṟpiḍugu might have been a surname of the Pallava king Dantivarman. Mr. Krishna Sastri thinks that the tank probably owed its origin to Māṟpiḍugu-Iḷaṅgōvēḷāṉ, a subordinate of king Dantivarman (M.E.R. for 1910, II, 7).
