SII 14.51: original edition by A. S. Ramanatha Ayyar – No. 51. (A.R. No. 604 of 1926.) TĒṈŪR, MADURAI TALUK, MADURAI DISTRICT. ON A PILLAR LYING IN A RUINED SITE.

Summary: This record of the 2+6th year of the reign of Śaḍaiya-Māṟaṉ registers a gift of 50 sheep by Vēḷāṉ-araiyaṉ of the village for burning a lamp to god Tirumēṟṟaḷi-Bhaṭāra at Peruntēṉūr in Pāgaṉūr-kūṟṟam. The pillar must have belonged to the temple, ruins of which are found in the site. Though Tirumēṟṟaḷi may signify a temple of Vishṇu, for Vishṇu temples are generally located in the west of the village and are called as such, a neglected liṅga found in the locality indicates that the original temple may have belonged to god Śiva. In some places Śiva temples have also been called ‘Tirumēṟṟaḷi.’
