SII 17.203: original edition by K. G. Krishnan

Alternative title: “No. 203. (A.R. No. 182 of 1904.) TIRUVAKKARAI, VILUPPURAM TALUK, SOUTH ARCOT DISTRICT.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: On the north wall of the maṇḍapa in front of the central shrine in the Chandramauḷīśvara temple.

Kulōttuṅga I. Year 44: 1113-14 A.D.

On account of the high regnal year, palaeography and the fact that two of the Śivabrāhmaṇas mentioned in this inscription figure also in No. 206 below dated in the 3rd regnal year of Vikramaśōḻa, Kulōttuṅgaśōḻadēva of this inscription may be identified with Kulōttuṅga I (1070-1120 A.D.).

This records the gift of 65 kāśu by Vāmaṉaṉ Śrī Rāmaṉ, a resident of Irumuḍiśōḻach-chēri in Tribuhuvanamādēvi-chchaturvēdimaṅgalam for perpetual lamps, one each for the gods Āḷuḍaiyār and Āḻvār at Tiruvakkarai, one sandhi lamp for goddess Durgā, oil for oil bath on Saturdays and māsa-tirunāḻi-eṇṇai for the first two deities. Kulaṅ-giḻavan Āttirayaṉ Kuṉṟameḍuttān Tiruiḍaiyān, Kāśyapan Paṟpanāban Tiruvēṅgaḍam and Bhāradvāji Tiruvēṅgaḍañ-Chūṟai, the śivabrāhmaṇas of the temple undertook to arrange for the burning of the lamps.
