SII 14.205: original edition by A. S. Ramanatha Ayyar

Alternative title: “No. 205. (A.R. No. 493 of 1909.) ŚŌḺAPURAM, KOVILPATTI TALUK, TIRUNELVELI DISTRICT. ON THE EAST WALL OF THE maṇḍapa IN THE VEṄKAṬĀCHALAPATI-PERUMĀḶ TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This record of Jaṭāvarmaṉ Śrīvallabha which is dated in the 4th regnal year is of interest as mentioning a piḷḷaiyār or prince named Sundara-Pāṇḍyadēva, who was camping at Aṟukai Kuṉṟattūr in Āṇmā-nāḍu at the time of issuing this inscription. It is stated that on the representation made by the sabhā of Sundarapāṇḍya-chaturvēdimaṅgalam, a devadāna-brahmadēya village of god Sundarapāṇḍya-viṇṇagar-Āḻvār in the same nāḍu the prince made a gift of land to the temple.

This Sundara-Pāṇḍya who is described as a ‘Piḷḷaiyār’ was apparently the son of Śrīvallabha, but he does not appear to have succeeded to the Pāṇḍya throne.

Language: Tamil (tam).
