SII 17.562: original edition by K. G. Krishnan

Alternative title: No. 562. (A.R. No. 519 of 1904.) TĒVŪR, NAGAPATTINAM TALUK, TANJORE DISTRICT.

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

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

Dēvarāya II, Ś. 1347: 1426 A.D.

The details of date given, viz., Śaka 1347, Viśvāvasu, Tai 15, correspond to 1426 A.D., January 10, Thursday.

This inscription seems to record the settlement made by Periya Śirupparaśar fixing the amount of the levy called magamai, payable by those, to whom the taxes on the classes of villages such as paṉḍāravāḍai, iṟai-ilippaṟṟu, amaram, and likhitajīvitam were leased out. It appears that the taxes were being collected without reference to the prevailing prices. Some settlements seem to have been made previously by Dēvargaḷnāyaṉ alias Bukkaṇa Uḍaiyar. It also mentions one Aṇṇappayyaṉ, who seems to have come to Tiruvārūr, to conduct an enquiry and Kaṇṇimandanāyaṉ, who bid a high rate for being given the right to collect these taxes. It is also stated that the Chikka Dēvar laid down that the members of the Valaṅgai and Iḍaṅgai could collect I panam per mavaṉ (son) in each community.

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