SII 14.21: original edition by A. S. Ramanatha Ayyar – No. 21. (A.R. No. 37 of 1930. 31.) TIRUKKŌḌIKĀVAL, KUMBAKONAM TALUK, TANJORE DISTRICT. ON THE SOUTH WALL OF THE TIRUKKŌṬĪŚVARA TEMPLE.

Editor: Emmanuel Francis.

Identifier: DHARMA_INSSIIv14p1i0021.

Summary: The record stated to be a copy of another inscription made during some repairs in the temple states that Varaguṇa-Mahārājar endowed 180 kaḻañju of gold for burning from the interest thereon three perpetual lamps before the images of Śrī Sarasvatī and Gaṇapati in the temple at Tirukkōḍikā alias Kaṇṇamaṅgalam. The existence of an auxiliary shrine for the goddess Sarasvatī at this early period is of interest. The regnal year in this inscription appears to be some numeral, of which the first digit is 1, but there appears to be some mistake in the copy.
