SII 17.569: original edition by K. G. Krishnan

Alternative title: No. 569. (A.R. No. 525 of 1904.) TIRUNELLIKKĀVAL, MANNARGUDI TALUK, TANJORE DISTRICT.

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: On the north and east walls of the central shrine in the Āmalakēśvara temple.

Kulōttuṅga III. Year 7: 1184-85 A.D.

This inscription is dated in the 7th year of Tribhuvaṉachakravartin Vīrarājēndradēva. As this title Tribhuvanachakravartin is not found with the name of the Chōḷa kings earlier than Kulottuṅga I and as Kulōttuṅga III himself had the title of Vīrarājēndra, the king may be identified as Kulōttuṅga III.

This records the gift of 160 kāśu for a perpetual lamp to the god in the temple by Tirunaṭṭamāḍi Āṭkoṇḍanāyakaṉ alias Ediriliśōḻa Iḍaiyaḷanāṭṭu-kkōṉ, the head man of Kuṉṟalūr.

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