SII 14.18: original edition by A. S. Ramanatha Ayyar

Alternative title: “No. 18. (A.R. No. 85 of 1927). TIRUNELVĒLI, TIRUNELVELI TALUK, TIRUNELVELI DISTRICT. ON THE NORTH WALL OF THE NARASIṀHA-PERUMĀḶ TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This Vaṭṭeḻuttu record is dated in the 2nd year of the reign of Māṟañjaḍaiyaṉ and registers a gift of cows made by Śāttanammai, for burning a lamp in the temple of Brahmapurittēvar at Tirunelvēli, on behalf of Śāttan-Dēyam, a dēvaraḍiyāḷ of Tirunelvēl in Kīḻ-Vēmba-nāḍu. Eṭṭi-Jātavēdaṉ, a veṭṭikkuḍi agreed to burn the lamp and Māṉanaḍai-Mādēvaṉ, another veṭṭikkuḍi stood security (puṇai) for the former.

It is possible that the temple was originally one of Śiva called Brahmapurittēvar. A record of Rājarāja I dated in the 12th year of his reign also refers to the god by this name only (No. 84 of 1927); and it is only in a record of Jaṭāvarman Kulaśēkhara (No. 83 of 1927) that the Narasimha-Perumāḷ is referred to as Vikrama-Pāṇḍyaviṇṇagar-Āḻvār.

Language: Tamil (tam).
