SII 17.212: original edition by K. G. Krishnan

Alternative title: “No. 212. (A.R. No. 190 of 1904.) TIRUVAKKARAI, VILUPPURAM TALUK, SOUTH ARCOT DISTRICT.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: On the south wall of the 1000 pillared maṇḍapa inside the second prākāra of the Chandramauḷīśvara temple.

Kulōttuṅga III. Year 2: 1179-80 A.D.

This inscription is dated in the 2nd Year of Kulōttuṅgachōḻadēva who was pleased to conquer Madurai and the crowned head of the Pāṇḍya, i.e., Kulōttuṅga III. The donor evidently belongs to the Śambuvarāya family and his title Pāṇḍināḍu-koṇḍān seems to indicate that he participated in the campaign against the Pāṇḍyas.

This records the building of a maṇḍapam, named Gaṇḍar Śūriyan-tirumaṇḍapam in the temple of god Āḷuḍaiyār at Tiruvakkarai in Māttūr-nāḍu in Rājarāja-vaḷanāḍu by Ammai Appaṉ Pāṇḍināḍu-koṇḍāṉ alias Gaṇḍar Sūriyaṉ Śambuvarāyaṉ.

Language: Tamil (tam) [Grantha (grantha), Tamil (tamil)].
