SII 14.68: original edition by A. S. Ramanatha Ayyar

Alternative title: “No. 68. (A.R. No. 122 of 1905.) TIRUPPUḌAIMARUDŪR, AMBASAMUDRAM TALUK, TIRUNELVELI DISTRICT. ON THE EAST WALL OF THE CHAṆḌĒŚVARA SHRINE IN THE PUṬĀRJUNĒŚVARA TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: Dated in the 2+18th year of Śaḍaiya-Māṟaṉ, this Vaṭṭeḻuttu record from Tiruppūḍaimarudūr or Tiruppaḍumarudil as it was called in the old days, mentions a servant of Vīra-Pāṇḍyadēva, who was a native of Malayamādēvipuram in Pāṇḍimāttāṇḍa-vaḷanāḍu and refers to some donation made by him, the details of which are lost. Though this Vīra-Pāṇḍya is not specifically styled a Piḷḷaiyār, to denote his relationship to the reigning king, it is possible that he was identical with Vīra-Pāṇḍya, who figures in inscriptions with the title of ‘Śōḻaṉṟalaikoṇḍa’. As this Vīra-Pāṇḍya’s date of accession has been calculated to be about 946 A.D., the Śaḍaiya-Māṟaṉ of this record may, as otherwise indicated also, be identical with Rājasimha, the contemporary of Parāntaka, and the immediate predecessor of Vīra-Pāṇḍya.

Language: Tamil (tam).
