SII 22.218: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao

Alternative title: No. 218. (A.R. No. 218 of 1906) SOUTH ARCOT DISTRICT, TIRUKKŌYILŪR TALUK, PĒRAṄGIYŪR. RUINED ŚIVA TEMPLE—ON THE NORTH AND WEST WALLS OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE. RĀJARĀJA I—28th YEAR (A.D. 1011-12).

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This begins with introduction Tirumagaḷpōla etc. Portions of the inscription are wanting. A piece of four lines found with No. 212 above seems to be a part of this record and hence has been added after line 5. Thus connected together the inscription records a gift of sheep for burning two perpetual lamps in the temple, one by a lady by name Nīlichchāṉi, the wife of a member of the Āḷuṅgaṇam of the village, and the other by a farmer (kuḍippaḷḷi) called Aṇṇāvaṉ Appuli. At the end of the inscription is also recorded a gift of a twilight lamp by Śiṟunaṅgai, wife of Kaīlāyattaḍigaḷ a resident of the village.

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