SII 14.9: original edition by A. S. Ramanatha Ayyar

Alternative title: “No. 9. (A.R. No. 136 of 1908.) TIRUPPATTŪR, TIRUPPATTUR TALUK, RAMANATHAPURAM DISTRICT. ON A SLAB IN THE FIRST prākāra OF THE TIRUTTAḶĪŚVARA TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This inscription of Māṟañjaḍaiyaṉ is dated in the 4th year opposite to the 6th, which apparently is a wrong citation for 4+6th year. The Sanskrit ślōka at the beginning states that Paṭṭā, the daughter of Māṟaṉ and the wife of Śaṅkara donated 10 dināra for a lamp to the god Śrīsthalīśa. The Tamil portion records the same fact in greater detail. The brāhmaṇa Mōśi Kaṇḍaṉ Śaṅkaraṉ is stated to be the son fo the kiḻār of Arukandūr and the amount of gift is specified as 10 kāśu. The endowment was left under the protection of Āyiratteḻunūṟṟuvar. What exactly is meant by this name is not clear.

Languages: Sanskrit (san), Tamil (tam).
