Cīrkāḻi, Tōṇipuram temple, Campantar shrine
L’épigraphe a été relevée dans ARE 1918 381 et localisée sur le mur sud du temple de Campantar.
Elle date de la quatrième année de règne de Tribhuvanacakravartin Kulottuṅgacōladeva que Mahalingam (1992 : 550, Tj. 2414) n’identifie pas. Ce dernier reprend le résumé de l’ARE : « Gift of land for setting up images (?) and restoring those that had been already set up and had suffered damage ». Il n’est pas question d’images. En effet, le texte enregistre un don de terre pour ré-ouvrir le Tirukkaikoṭṭi de la chapelle qui conservait les Tirumuṟai, pour remplacer ceux qui sont endommagés et pour en installer de nouveaux. Malgré son caractère exceptionnel, ce texte n’a connu qu’un rayonnement limité dans la littérature secondaire sans doute à cause du résumé erroné de l’ARE1.
L’inscription se compose de trente-huit lignes qui s’étendent sur le mur sud, entre deux pilastres, à l’est de la fenêtre à claire-voie, au-dessus de CEC 25. Des restaurations ont eu lieu depuis 1918. Les pierres de la chapelle furent cimentées et les lignes à proximité de ces espaces sont donc illisibles. Ainsi, la majorité des conjectures proposées pour ce texte suivent la lecture de la transcription de l’ASI faite en 1918.
Veḷḷaivāraṇam (*1994 [1962 et 1969] : 52-53) donne une version du texte et Swamy (1972 : 107) s’en sert dans sa démonstration sans mentionner les références.
L’emplacement de ce texte sur le mur sud, juste au-dessus de CEC 25, ainsi que la proximité des dates de règne et la concordance d’un des membres de l’assemblée (Māṭilaṉ Civatevaṉ Tiruttōṇipuramuṭaiyāṉ) permettent d’arguer que l’inscription date de la quatrième année de règne de Kulottuṅga II, soit de 1136.-->
