SII 3.63: original edition by Eugen Julius Theodor Hultzsch

Alternative title: “No. 63. ON THE WEST WALL OF THE KITCHEN IN THE BILVANATHESVARA TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: The subjoined inscription records a remission of taxes by Aḻagiya-Pallavaṉ. This chief bore the same surname as Aḻagiya-Śōḻaṉ, a feudatory of Rājarāja III.,¹ and accordingly seems to have been a member of the Śeṅgēṇi family.² The inscription refers to the 3rd year of the reign of Vijaya-Gaṇḍagōpāladēva. Three inscriptions at Kāñchipuram are dated in the Śaka year 1187 and in the 15th and 16th years of Tribhuvanachakravartin Vijaya-Gaṇḍagōpāladēva,³ who is perhaps identical with the former king.

Language: Tamil (tam).

Translation by Hultzsch 1899

Hail ! Prosperity ! We, Aḻagiya-Pallavaṉ Edirili-Śōḻa-Śambuvarāyaṉ, have ordered that, from the third year (of the reign) of Vijaya-Gaṇḍagōpāladēva, if taxes and revenue due to us are levied, (these) taxes and revenue have to be levied after remission of one sixteenth and one fifth, to the extent of the full amount which had not been (levied) in former times.
