SII 14.42: original edition by A. S. Ramanatha Ayyar

Alternative title: “No. 42. (A.R. No. 863 of 1917.) KAḺUGUMALAI, KOILPATTI TALUK, TIRUNELVELI DISTRICT. ON THE ROCK WITHIN THE AYYAṈĀR TEMPLE ON THE HILL.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This record dated in the 7th year opposite to the 35th year of reign of Māṟañjaḍaiyaṉ registers a gift of gold by a brāhmaṇa named Māṇi Śaṅkaranārāyaṇaṉ, a nagarattāṉ of Tiruchuriyal for burning a lamp during the three services in the shrine of the Dēvar which he had made. This amount was left in the charge of the Pērūrār of Tirunechchuṟam and the charity was left under the protection of the Tirumalaivīrar and Parāntakavīrar who were evidently the military guardians of the temple, the latter owing their name to the Pāṇḍya king Parāntaka, the second of that name, to whose time the characters of the present inscription can reasonably be attributed.

Language: Tamil (tam).
