SII 12.23A: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar

Alternative title: PARAMESVARAVARMAN I. No. 23A. (A.R. Nos. 105-107 of 1932-33). PŪÑJĒRI, CHINGLEPUT TALUK, CHINGLEPUT DISTRICT. ON ROCKS TO THE EAST OF THE VILLAGE.

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: The following seven labels are engraved in archaic Tamil and Grantha characters on a group of rocks, one of which, on account of a natural cavity in it, is locally known as ‘Noṇḍi Vīrappaṉ Kudiraitoṭṭi’. The names Kēvādaperundachchaṉ and Kollaṉ Śēmagaṉ found in this place indicate that the persons bearing these names belonged to the artisan class. One of the labels also gives the name Guṇamallaḥ. On account of their palaeographical interest, these labels, as also the one given in the previous inscription, are included here and some of them are reproduced on plate II.

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

Repository: SII original (south-indian-inscriptions).
