SII 14.182: original edition by A. S. Ramanatha Ayyar – No. 182. (A.R. No. 623 of 1916.) ŚĒRMĀDĒVI, AMBASAMUDRAM TALUK, TIRUNELVELI DISTRICT. ON THE SOUTH WALL OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE, AMMAINĀTHA TEMPLE.

Editor: Emmanuel Francis.

Identifier: DHARMA_INSSIIv14p1i0182.

Summary: This epigraph which is fragmentary apparently belongs to the time of Māṟavarmaṉ Vikrama-Chōḷapāṇḍya. It mentions the gift of fifty cows made by Ulaguḍaiyār, queen of the Chōḷa king, who took Gaṅgai, Kiḍāram and Pūrvadēśam, i. e., Rājēndra-Chōḷa I, whose name is lost in this inscription, for maintaining two lamps in the temple of Kailāsamuḍaiya-Mahādēva. Māṟavarmaṉ Vikrama-Chōḷapāṇḍya must have succeeded Jaṭāvarmaṉ Sundara-Chōḷapāṇḍya. The queen Ulaguḍaiyār, wife of Rājēndra-Chōḷa, must have continued to live then. It is not clear if Rājēndra-Chōḷa was dead at the time; possibly he was.
