SII 17.722: original edition by K. G. Krishnan

Alternative title: No. 722. (A.R. No. 665 of 1904.) TIRUMULLAIVĀYAL, SAIDAPET TALUK, CHINGLEPUT DISTRICT.

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: On the south wall of the central shrine in the Māśilāmaṇīśvara temple.

Dēvarāya II. 1424 A.D.

The cyclic year Krōdhin cited in the inscription fell in Śaka 1346. The palaeography of the record would not militate against this. The details of date, viz., Krōdhin, Aṟpaśi 2 may correspond to 1424 A.D. September 30, in which case the king may be identified with Dēvarāya II.

This inscription records the gift of 4000 kuḻi of land by Oṟṟi Maṉṉaṉ alias Uḍaiyār Oṟṟi-Araśar and Araśuperumāḷ alias Kāḍavarāya for conducting certain special festivals in the Kāḍavarāyar tiruttōppu (sacred grove) and at the Aśaṅgādagaṇḍaṉ-maṇḍapa in the temple of Tirumullaivāyal-uḍaiya-nāyanār. The land was given away with irrigation facilities from the donor’s lake (periyēri).

Also mentions the measuring rod Aśaṅgāḍagaṇḍaṉ-kōl.

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