SII 14.88: original edition by A. S. Ramanatha Ayyar – No. 88. (A.R. No. 423 of 1914.) PAḶḶIMAḌAM, ARUPPUKKOTTAI TALUK, RAMANATHAPURAM DISTRICT. ON THE WEST WALL OF THE KĀLANĀTHASVĀMIN TEMPLE.

Editor: Emmanuel Francis.

Identifier: DHARMA_INSSIIv14p1i0088.

Summary: To the same king Vīra-Pāṇḍya belongs this record dated in the 7th year opposite to the 4th year of his reign. It registers a gift of sheep for burning a lamp in the maṭha of Mahāvratigaḷ attached to the temple of Sundarapāṇḍya-Īśvaram at Paḷḷipaḍai. The existence of a Mahāvrati-maṭha at this place is of interest. The Mūvarkōyil inscription¹ of the Koḍumbāḷūr chieftain Bhūti-Vikramakēsarin, who was probably a contemporary of this Pāṇḍya king, because he claims to have come into conflict with him, also refers to the fact that that chief favoured the Śaiva sect and that one of its teachers was a native of Madurai.
