SII 32, part 2, no. 140: original edition by S. Swaminathan

Alternative title: “No. 140. (A.R. No. 104 of 1900.) TIRUVŌTTŪR, CHEYYAR TALUK, NORTH ARCOT DISTRICT.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: On the south wall, Chidambarēśvara shrine, Vēdapurīśvara temple.

Year 14: 985 A.D.

Incomplete. It seems to state that the sheep which had been earmarked earlier for burning a perpetual lamp to the god Tiruvottūr Mahādēva had been misappropriated by Uttamachōḻa-mārāyaṉ. Subsequently on supplication to Sembiyan Mādēvi the 200 sheep were recovered and endowed for burning two perpetual lamps. It was stipulated that sixteen nāḻi, one uri and one uḻakku of ghee as measured by the pañchavārakkal would be contributed every month for these two lamps. The tiruvuṇṇāḻigaiuḍaiyārgaḷ (priests serving in the sanctum sanctorum) are mentioned.

Published in S.I.I., Vol. VII. No. 114.

Language: Tamil (tam).
