SII 22.399: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao

Alternative title: No. 399. (A.R. No. 399 of 1906) TIRUCHIRAPALLI DISTRICT, PUDUKKOTTAI STATE, TIRUMAYYAM SATYAGIRINĀTHA-PERUMĀḶ TEMPLE—ON THE SOUTH WALL OF THE MAṆḌAPA.

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: Kṛishṇadēva-Mahārāya-Śaka 1444. The details of the date are given as Chitrabhānu, Uttarāyaṇa, Makara-Saṅkramaṇa. (=AD. 1522, December 28).

The inscription registers a sarvamānya grant made to the two temples of Aḻagiyameyyar (Vishṇu) and Tirumeyyadēvar (Śiva) at Tirumeyyam in Kāṉanāḍu, by Chellappa Vīra Narasiṅgarāya-Nāyakkar (The kings viceroy in the south), of all the lands in the village which had been lying as Paṇḍāravāḍai (except those which had been already endowed as tiruviḍaiyāṭṭam or dēvadāna). As was the case with regard to all lands possessed by these two temples in common, the income derived from the present lands was also to be shared by them in the proportion of three and two respectively.

Languages: Sanskrit (san) [Grantha (grantha)], Undetermined (und) [Grantha (grantha)].
