SII 22.160: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao

Alternative title: No. 160. (A.R. No. 160 of 1906) SOUTH ARCOT DISTRICT, TIRUKKŌYILŪR TALUK, ELVĀNĀŚŪR. GRĀMĀRDHANĀTHA TEMPLE—ON THE NORTH WALL OF THE SAME PRĀKĀRA. MĀR. VĪRA-PĀṆḌYADĒVA—7th YEAR.

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: The details of the date given as Tulā, śu. 14, Friday, Aśvati correspond to A.D. 1333, October 22, and would enable the identification of this king with the one who ascended the throne in A.D. 1326-27. This records an endowment of four pieces of land measuring 1250 kuḻi in all by Āṭkoṇḍadēvaṉ Toṇḍappiḷḷai a merchant of Tirunāvalūr in Tirumuṉaippāḍi-nāḍu to provide for the various requirements of worship in the temple of Ūrbagaṅkoṇḍaruḷiya-Nāyanār during the four festival days of the year, at the rate of ten paṇam for each festival. The rituals observed on such occasions are described; so also the articles required for them are named such as rose-water, musk, camphor, saffron and sandal paste. The lands are said to have been purchased before gift by the donor from the legal heirs of the owner who had run away unable to pay the taxes.

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