SII 22.176: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao

Alternative title: No. 176. (A.R. No. 176 of 1906) SOUTH ARCOT DISTRICT, TIRUKKŌYILŪR TALUK, ELVĀNĀŚŪR. GRĀMĀRDHANĀTHA TEMPLE—ON A SLAB BUILT INTO THE FLOOR AT THE ENTRANCE. RĀJARĀJA I—7th YEAR (A.D. 991-92).

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: The inscription is left incomplete. It seems to record the merger of two villages Śembiyanmādēvi-chaturvēdimaṅgalam and Araṇkalakki-chaturvēdimaṅgalam founded by the Milāḍu chiefs Irāmadēvan Paṭṭālakaṉ alias Vikramaśōḻa-Malāḍuḍaiyāṉ and Siddovaḍavaṉ-Gāmuṇḍaṉ (?) alias Uttamaśōḻa-Malāḍuḍaiyāṉ respectively in the 15th year of Uttama-Chōḷadēva, and probably their gift to the temple in this year. Mention is made of a princess (?) by name Pūdi Parāntakadēviyār.

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

Repository: SII original (south-indian-inscriptions).
