Alternative title: “No. 234. (A.R. No. 291 of 1923.) TIRUKKŌSHṬIYŪR, TIRUPPATTUR TALUK RAMANATHAPURAM DISTRICT. ON THE EAST WALL OF THE STORE-ROOM IN THE SAUMYANĀRĀYAṆA-TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This record is dated in the 13th year of Jaṭāvarmaṉ Śrīvallabha and was issued from the throne called Kaliṅgattaraiyaṉ in the Aḻagiyapāṉdiyaṉ-kūḍam. From it we learn that the natal star of the king was Chittirai and that the king remitted certain taxes on Aṇḍūr alias Nāṭṭārmaṅgalam and Puṟkuḻi in favour of the temple of Aḻagiyamaṇavāḷāḻvār in the east of the Periyalōyil at Tirukkōshṭiyūr for the conduct of a nine-day festival in the month of Aippaśi, ending with the day of the king’s asterism, Chittirai.
