SII 14.26: original edition by A. S. Ramanatha Ayyar – No. 26. (A.R. No. 690 of 1905.) RĀMANĀTHAPURAM, DINDIGAL TALUK, MADURAI DISTRICT. ON A ROCK IN THE VILLAGE.

Summary: This Tamil inscription which does not quote the regnal year of the king states that Nakkaṉ-Puḷḷaṉ who had the other name of Parāntaka-ppaḷḷivēḷāṉ had accompanied king Mārañjaḍaiyaṉ in his campaign (yāttirai) against Iḍavai in Śōḻa-nāḍu. This Puḷḷaṉ had begun the excavation of an irrigation tank in his name, called it Puḷḷaṉēri, strengthened the banks with stone revetment and fixed the sluice therefore; but he died before the project could be completed. The work is then stated to have been completed by Puḷḷaṉ-Nakkaṉ, evidently his son, with the help of the mason named Vaḍugaṉ-Kūṟṟaṉ and his son; and to the two latter a gift of land in the two kūṟus of Paḷḷi-nāḍu was made.
