SII 14.150: original edition by A. S. Ramanatha Ayyar – No. 150. (A.R. No. 392 of 1916.) MAṈṈĀRKŌYIL, AMBASAMUDRAM TALUK, TIRUNELVELI DISTRICT. ON A STEP IN THE maṇḍapa OF THE GŌPĀLASVĀMIN TEMPLE.

Editor: Emmanuel Francis.

Identifier: DHARMA_INSSIIv14p1i0150.

Summary: This inscription which belongs to the 14th regnal year of Sundara-Chōḷapāṇḍya without any distinguishing epithet registers a gift of a lamp-stand and of cows for maintaining half a lamp in the temple of Rājēndraśōḻa-viṇṇagar-Āḻvār, by a servant, (name lost) of Śēralaṉmādēviyār¹, queen of the Chēra king ChēramāṉAr RAśiggadēvar. As the Chēra king Rājasiṁha was a contemporary of the first viceroy Jaṭāvarman Sundara-Chōḷapāṇḍya (Ep. Ind., Vol. XI, pp. 294) this record must be attributed to him.

Notes

1. In the A. R. E. for 1916, p. 26, the gift of a lamp is attributed to the Chēra queen herself, but as the lines are built in at the right end of the inscription, the name of some individual probably a servant of the queen, who was the donor, is missing.
