SII 14.91: original edition by A. S. Ramanatha Ayyar

Alternative title: “No. 91. (A.R. No. 548 of 1926.) ŚRĪVILLIPUTTŪR, SRIVILLIPUTTUR TALUK, RAMANATHAPURAM DISTRICT. ON THE SOUTH WALL OF THE maṇḍapa IN THE PERUMĀḶ TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This record which belongs to Vīra-Pāṇḍya is dated in the year opposite to the 13th year of his reign, different from the usual method in which the years quoted were opposite to the 4th year. It is stated that the sabhā of Villipputtūr, a brahmadēya in Malli-nāḍu, which had met in the temple of Tirukkaṟṟaḷi-Mahādēva, sold some lands newly constituted into a hamlet called Agara-dhanma-maṅgalam, to a certain official named Śatrubhayaṅkara-Mūvēndavēḷāṉ alias Vēḷāṉ-Parañjōti of Peruṅguḷam in Tiruvaḷudi-vaḷanāḍu, for instituting some charities in the two temples of Jalaśayanattu-kkiḍandaruḷiṉa-Paramasvāmin and Tirukkaṟṟali-Mahādēvar in the village.

Among the boundaries of the village are mentioned the names of Māṟapputtūr, Irambāḍu, and Śrīkāntamaṅgalam. Śatrubhayaṅkara was evidently a title borne by a Pāṇḍya king, possibly Vira-Pāṇḍya himself.

The penalty to be imposed on those who obstruct this charity is specified, namely, in the case of an individual, it was 50 poṉ but if the Sabhā itself was at fault, the fine was 500 poṉ.

Language: Tamil (tam).
