SII 17.639: original edition by K. G. Krishnan

Alternative title: No. 639. (A.R. No. 589-A of 1904.) ŚRĪNIVĀSANALLŪR, MUSIRI TALUK, TIRUCHIRAPPALLI DISTRICT.

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: On the south wall of the Kuraṅganātha temple.

Parāntaka I. Year 30: 936-37 A.D.

This damaged inscription gives only the regnal year 30 of a king whose name is lost. Palaeography, the mention of Kāppiyaṉ Eḻuvaṉ Gaṅgādharan who figures in another inscription from the same place (S.I.I., Vol. XIII, No. 2.) ascribed to the reign of Gaṇḍarāditya and the high regnal year point to the identity of the king of the record with Parāntaka I.

It seems to record a sale of land made free of taxes, like iṟai, echchōṟu, veṭṭi and vediṉai to the god for a tiruviḷakku by the mūlapariḍai for the gold received for the purpose from Kāppiyaṉ Eḻuvaṉ Gaṅgādharaṉ.

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