SII 13.322: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao

Alternative title: “No. 322. (A.R. No. 230 of 1915.) BRAHMADĒŚAM, CHEYYAR TALUK, NORTH ARCOT DISTRICT. ON THE SOUTH WALL OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE, CHANDRAMAUḶĪŚVARA TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: The inscription is damaged. It seems to record a gift of 10 kaḻañju of gold for a perpetual lamp in the temple of Tiruppondaip-Perumāṉaḍigaḷ at Rājamallachaturvēdimaṅgalam by Ashṭamūrtti, a resident of the village, and an endowment in land by his wife (name lost), after purchase, for the daily feeding of a Brāhmaṇa in the temple. The inscription has been assigned to Āditya I on account of the high regnal year of the king and the identity of the donor with the one figuring in No. 224 of 1915 of the time of Parāntaka I (M.E.R. 1916 II. 9). It is surmised that the village owed its origin to Rājamalla an early king of the Western Gaṅga dynasty. (See No. 292 above.)

Language: Tamil (tam).
