SII 22.278: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao

Alternative title: No. 278. (A.R. No. 278 of 1906) NORTH ARCOT DISTRICT, WALAJAPET TALUK, TIRUMĀLPURAM. MAṆIKAṆṬHĒŚVARA TEMPLE—ON THE SAME WALL. RĀJAKĒSARIVARMAN “who destroyed the ships at Kāndaḷūr-Śālai”— RĀJARĀJA I—Date lost.

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: The first half of the inscription is badly damaged. This seems to record an agreement given by the Ūrār of Paḷgūr to measure out annually in the temple. 93 kāḍi and odd of paddy (as interest) for the 25 kaḻañju of gold which they had received from some donor whose name is lost.

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

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