SII 22.196: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao

Alternative title: No. 196. (A.R. No. 196 of 1906) SOUTH ARCOT DISTRICT, TIRUKKŌYILŪR TALUK, GRĀMAM. ŚIVALŌKANĀTHA TEMPLE—ON THE SOUTH WALL OF THE ŚELVĀMBIKĀ SHRINE. JAṬ. SUNDARA-PĀṆḌYA I—18th YEAR (A.D. 1268-69).

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: The inscription begins with the Sanskrit praśasti of the king, Samastajagad-ādhāra etc. The record is damaged. It seems to register an endowment of land made by the king for the expenses of worship and offerings to the deity on the day of a special festival instituted in his name, and for the formation of a garden where the god was to be taken in procession on such occasions. Provision is also made for the daily supply of 200 lotus flowers to the temple and of 2000 lilies on festival days by the grant of 2¼ vēli of land to one Vikrama-Pāṇḍyaṉ alias Śrī Mūlasthāna-Vēḷāṉ for the purpose. The god is called Śrīyāṟṟuttaḷi Mūlasthānam-Uḍaiyār Bokkaṇaṅkuḍuttaruḷiya-Nāyanār.

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