RAṄGANĀTHA TEMPLE—ON THE RIGHT AND LEFT WALLS OF THE ENTRANCE. SADĀŚIVADĒVA—ŚAKA 1480 (A.D. 1557) Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis Identifier: DHARMA_INSSIIv22p0i0066 Repository: SII original (south-indian-inscriptions) File path: SII_B_clean/SII22/DHARMA_INSSIIv22p0i0066.xml Languages: Sanskrit [Grantha], Tamil [Grantha, Tamil] Commit: 2026-11-14 15:07 (85a1dec), last modified 2026-09-30 22:00 (3b989bd) ## Summary The details of date are given as Piṅgaḷa, Kaṉṉi, śu. 2, Rēvati, Friday, which yield the equivalent A.D. 1557, September 10. But the tithi was ba. 2. The record states that on this day Mahāmaṇḍalēśvara Obaladēva-Mahārāja, son of Kōnēṭayya-Mahārāja and grandson of Rāmarāja Koṇḍudēva-Mahārāja of the Ātrēya-gōtra, Yajuś-śākhā and Āpastamba-sūtra who had the Nāyakattanam of Magadaimaṇḍalam conferred on him by the king, granted the income from three villages Eḍuttavanallūr, Māḍāmpūṇḍi and Periya-Pavaṇḍai in Muḍiyaṉūr-paṟṟu for the several requirements of daily worship and offerings, and for special festival occasions to god Raṅganātha at Uttara-Tiruvaraṅgam in the same paṟṟu (division). On the representation of one Tirumalainambi Śrīrāmayyaṅgār to the chief, that the grant did not cover the full expenses incurred in the temple, the latter is said to have made an additional gift of the income from Pāḍiyēndal. Muḍiyaṉūr-paṟṟu is stated to be situated in Vaḻudilampaṭṭu-chāvaḍi in Koṟukkai-kūṟṟam, a su-bdivision of Meyguṉṟa-vaḷanāḍu in Magadaimaṇḍalam. It is also stated that it was situated in Tiruvadi-rājyam in Magadaimaṇḍalam. Hence it seems likely that Tiruvadi-rājyam was a major division, the same as Meyguṉṟa-vaḷanāḍu. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## Edition ⟨1⟩ śubhamastu
