Alternative title: No. 254. (A.R. No. 254 of 1906) NORTH ARCOT DISTRICT, CHEYYAR TALUK, TIRUPPANAṄGĀḌU. ŚIVA TEMPLE—ON THE INNER SIDE OF THE WEST WALL OF THE FIRST PRĀKĀRA. DĒVARĀYA-UḌAIYAR (DĒVARĀYA I) SON OF HARIHARA II—Śaka 1320 (current).

Summary: This inscription is badly damaged. It is dated in Īśvara, Kanyā, śu. 10, Wednesday, Uttiram, corresponding to A.D. 1397, September 2, but the week day was Sunday. It seems to register the sale of land by five persons to the Ūravar of Kaṇṇippākkam for twenty poṉ for digging a feeder channel from the river to the irrigation tank of their village, after getting the latter repaired Mention is made of Mahāmaṇḍalēśvara Sāmayadēva-Mahārāja son of Vēṅgi Tribhuvanamalla Chaḷukki-Nārāyaṇa Sūryadēva-Mahārāja who was probably the regional administrator at the time.

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