SII 3.32: original edition by Eugen Julius Theodor Hultzsch

Alternative title: “IV.—INSCRIPTIONS AT MANIMANGALAM. No. 32.—ON THE SOUTH WALL OF THE MANDAPA IN THE RAJAGOPALA-PERUMAL TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This inscription is mutilated at the end. It records the purchase of some land near the village, the produce of which was assigned to the temple for providing offerings. The name of the purchaser and donor was Vīravali Tiruvaraṅgam-uḍaiyāṉ Sahasraṉ, and the two temple managers at the time of the purchase were Kēśava-Bhaṭṭaṉ of Aḷḷūr and Tiruvāykkula-Pittaṉ of Araṇaippuṟam. As the same three persons are mentioned in the preceding inscription (No. 31), which belongs to the reign of Kulōttuṅga I., it follows that the subjoined inscription, which is dated in the 48th year of Tribhuvanachakravartin Kulōttuṅga-Chōḷadēva, has to be assigned also to Kulōttuṅga I.

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

Translation by Hultzsch 1899

(Line 1.) Hail ! Prosperity ! In the 48th year (of the reign) of the emperor of the three worlds, Śrī-Kulōttuṅga-Śōḻadēva, on the day of Śatabhishaj, which corresponded to a Friday and to the twelfth tithi¹ of the first fortnight of the month of Kumbha.

(L. 2.) The writing of the great assembly of Maṇimaṅgalam, alias Pāṇḍiyaṉaiirumaḍi-veṉ-kaṇḍa-Śōḻa-chaturvēdimaṅgalam, in Kuṉṟattūr-nāḍu, (a subdivision) of Kulōttuṅga-Śōḻa-vaḷanāḍu, (a district) of Jayaṅkoṇḍa-Śōḻa-maṇḍalam.

(L. 3.) With the knowledge of Kēśava-Bhaṭṭaṉ of [Aḷḷū]r and Tiruvāykkula-Pittaṉ of Araṇaippuṟam, the managers of the temple of Puravuvari-Viṇṇagar-Āḻvār, which is the temple in the middle of our village.

(L. 4.) Vīravali Tiruvaraṅgam-uḍaiyāṉ Sahasraṉ of this village purchased, for providing offerings to this Āḻvār, from Dāmōdara-Kramavittaṉ of Irāyūr and Chandradēva-Anna[t]ti-Kramavittaṉ of Kuṇḍūr, (two residents) of this village, [2]6[6] kuḻi of cultivated land in the second Kaṇṇāṟu² to the east of the Maṉai-aṟudi channel³ at the Ālaimēḍu (hill)⁴ in this village, enclosed within the following four boundaries:—The eastern boundary of the land (is) to the west of the third Kaṇṇāṟu; the southern boundary (is) to the north of a channel which flows towards the east; the western boundary (is) to the east of this second Kaṇṇāṟu; (and) the northern boundary (is) to the south of the Perunalvadi (road)⁵ . . . . . . . . . .

Notes

1. Professor Kielhorn states that ‘the twelfth tithi’ is a mistake for ‘the second tithi’ and that, consequently, the whole date of this inscription is identical with that of No. 31.
