SII 12.31: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar

Alternative title: “MAHĒNDRAVARMAN III. No. 31. (A.R. No. 1 of 1932-33). CONJEEVERAM, CONJEEVERAM TALUK, CHINGLEPUT DISTRICT. ON A SLAB FIXED IN THE NORTHERN END OF THE OKKAPIṞANDĀṈKUḶAM STREET.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This is a label inscription¹ in the Pallava-Grantha script engraved on the lateral face of a stray granite slab fixed at the northern entrance into the Okkapiṟandāṉkuḷam street. From general appearance, the slab seems to have formed the lintel of a structural temple in the village. The inscription reads ‘Śrī-Mahēndravarmmēśvaragṛiham’. A similar label is also found in the same village in the Kailāsanātha temple, engraved on the two wing-stones of the steps leading to the Mahēndravarmēśvara shrine which is stated to have been built by Mahēndravarman III (S.I.I. Vol. I. p. 23). The original location of this slab may be traced to this shrine where the present lintel appears to be a later substitution or to some other shrine not far from its present position.²

Language: Sanskrit (san).
