SII 17.285: original edition by K. G. Krishnan

Alternative title: “No. 285. (A.R. No. 259 of 1904.) TIRUCHCHĀṈŪR, CHANDRAGIRI TALUK, CHITTOOR DISTRICT.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: On detached stones lying in the temple.

Palaeographically this inscription may be assigned to the 11th-12th century A.D. The main body of the inscription is of a later period and hence seems to have no connection with the piece mentioning Parakēśari, who took Madurai.

It seems torecord the gift of a golden kalaśa, weighing 100 poṉ, by the kuḍiñaikkal to god Śrīvēṅkaṭadēva by Vaṇṇakkaṉ Karuppūruḍaiyāṉ adhikāri Namalūraḍigaḷ and adhikāri Pūmūruḍaiyāṉ, the local authorities, accepted the gift on behalf of the temple.

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

Repository: South Indian Inscriptions (Original Edition) (south-indian-inscriptions).
