SII 14.6: original edition by A. S. Ramanatha Ayyar

Alternative title: “EARLY PANDYAS. No. 6. (A.R. No. 364 of 1907.) ĀḌUTURAI, PAPANASAM TALUK, TANJORE DISTRICT. ON THE NORTH WALL OF THE ĀPATSAHĀYĒŚVARA TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This inscription of Māṟanjaḍaiyaṉ of the year opposite to the year which was itself opposite to the fourth year of the king comes from Āḍuturai. From a record of the Chōḻa king Uttama-Chōḻa it is learnt that this temple was rebuilt during his reign by his pious mother Sembiyaṉ-Mahādēviyār, and so the characters in which this record is engraved are later that the time of Varaguṇa to whom this and the next record can be attributed. This epigraph registers some provision made for the supply of one uri of oil daily to the temple of Mahādēva at Tirukkuraṅgāduturā in Tiraimūr-nāḍu. Kuraṅgāḍutuṟai has been curtailed into the modern name of Āḍutuṟai.

Language: Tamil (tam).
