SII 14.32: original edition by A. S. Ramanatha Ayyar – No. 32. (A.R. No. 430 of 1914). PAḶḶIMAḌAM, ARUPPUKKOTTAI TALUK, RAMANATHAPURAM DISTRICT. ON THE WING-STONE AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE KĀLANĀTHASVĀMIN TEMPLE.

Editor: Emmanuel Francis.

Identifier: DHARMA_INSSIIv14p1i0032.

Summary: This Vaṭṭeḻuttu inscription dated in the 26th year of the reign of Māṟañjaḍaiyaṉ appears to register a gift of 100 sheep by ŚA[tta]ṉ-Guṇattāṉ of Kuṇṇūr in [Karu]nIlakkuḍi-nāḍu for supplying ghee to a deity in the temple of TirukkāTTAmbaḷḷi at Kuṟaṇḍi. From other records it is known that at Kuṟaṇḍi there flourished in the olden days an important Jaina temple named TirukkāTTAmbaḷḷi. This stone may have belonged originally to that temple and removed thence and placed in this temple. Kuṟaṇḍi¹ may be identified with the village of the same name in the Aruppukkottai taluk. Kuṇṇūr where ŚrImāra-Śrīvallabha fought one of his battles, was situated in KarunIlakkuḍi-nāḍu in the same subdivision.
