SII 13.335: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao

Alternative title: “No. 335. (A.R. No. 696 of 1909.) TIRUNEḌUṄGAḶAM, LALGUDI TALUK, TRICHINOPOLY DISTRICT. ON THREE FRAGMENTS OF STONE BUILT INTO THE WALL OF A MAṆḌAPA, NEḌUṄGAḶANĀTHASVĀMIN TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: The inscription on one of the fragments seems to belong to Āditya I and refers to a previous gift of 60 paḻaṅkāśu made by Pāṇḍya Varaguṇa-Mahā[rāja] for burning a lamp in the temple. This had been entrusted to the sabhā who, it is stated, now endowed a land tax-free for that amount.

The donor Varaguṇa is evidently the Pāṇḍya king who came to the throne in A.D. 862 and who fought a battle at Śrīpurambiyam with Pallava Aparājita and was defeated by him (S.I.I. III. p. 449). It is known that Aparājita was himself overthrown later on by Āditya I (ibid. p. 386).

The third fragment mentions [Madi]raikoṇḍa Parakēsari, i.e., Parāntaka l.

Language: Tamil (tam).
