SII 22.21: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao

Alternative title: No. 21. (A.R. No. 21 of 1906) TANJAVUR DISTRICT, MAYURAM TALUK, TIRUKKAḌAIYŪR. AMṚITAGHAṬĒŚVARA TEMPLE—ON THE EAST BASE OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE. RĀJAK. RĀJARĀJA I—23rd YEAR (A.D. 1007-8).

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: The inscription commences with the introduction Tirumagaḷpōla etc. It records a sale of land made tax-free by the mahāsabhā of Tirukkaḍavūr in Uyyakkoṇḍār-vaḷanāḍu for 15 kāśu received by them from the temple of Kālakāladēva. This amount seems to have been a gift (from the palace ?) for burning a lamp called “Mummuḍiśōḻaṉ” (evidently after the king’s title) in the temple.

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