SII 13.342: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao – No. 342. (A.R. No. 55 of 1923.) PUḶḶALŪR, CONJEEVARAM TALUK, CHINGLEPUT DISTRICT. ON OTHER STONES BUILT INTO THE KAILĀSANĀTHA AND VISHṆU TEMPLES.

Summary: This is an inscription formed by piecing together the stones found in the two temples. It seems to record an agreement by the assembly and the two Pirāṉadhikārigaḷ who are mentioned in No. 121 above of the 5th year of the king, to maintain two services and to burn a lamp in a temple (name lost) with the income from some land, 3 paṭṭi in extent (?) of which they are stated to have taken the management. Another fragment dated in the same reign merely gives the names of the Pirāṉadhikārigaḷ Śurāṉkuḍaiyār and Pirā••• of whom a third fragment supplies the full name as Pirāyūruḍaiyāṉ. This makes mention of some messengers (ōlaitūdōḍakkaḍavārgaḷ). A fourth fragment mentions Mummuḍiśōḻavadi (road) called after Mummuḍi-Chōḷa which was a surname both of Gaṇḍarāditya and Rājaraja I. Still another fragment, the last one mentions an endowment as Mahābhārata-vṛitti.
