SII 14.19: original edition by A. S. Ramanatha Ayyar – No. 19. (A.R. No. 128 of 1905). TIRUKKUṞUṄGUḌI, NANGUNERI TALUK, TIRUNELVELI DISTRICT. ON A STONE BELONGING TO THE NAMBI TEMPLE (NOW IN THE MADRAS MUSEUM).

Summary: This Vaṭṭeḻuttu inscription of Māṟañjaḍaiyaṉ is dated in the 4th year and registers a sale by the mahāsabhaiyār of Vaikuṇṭha-vaḷanāḍu in Nāṭṭāṟṟuppōkku to Pañchavaṉ Brahmādhirājaṉ alias Śēndaṉ-Śāttaṉ of Nellittoḻa in Malai-nāḍu, who made it over to the temple of god Emberumāṉ, who was pleased to be stationed at Tirukkuṟuṅguḍi, for providing offerings, etc., therein. This record may, for palaeographical considerations be assigned to Varaguṇa-Mahārāja I. There is a shrine of the god Śāstā in the Vishṇu temple at this place. This is peculiar, and its existence has to be accounted for by the vicinity of Tirukkuṟuṅguḍi to Travancore, where worship of Śāstā is popular. Śēndaṉ-Śāttaṉ of Malai-nāḍu was evidently a Malayāḷa brāhmaṇa and he appears to have been a person of some note, as indicated by the title Pañchavaṉ-Brahmādhirājaṉ borne by him, apparently as a Pāṇḍya official.
