SII 12.88: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar

Alternative title: APARAJITAVARMAN. No. 88. (A.R. No. 161 of 1912). ON ANOTHER SLAB IN THE SAME PLACE.

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This is also dated in the 4th year of Vijaya-Aparājitavarman and it registers a similar agreement made by the sabhā and the amṛita-gaṇa of Ādambākkam to maintain a perpetual lamp in the same temple for the interest on 30 kaḻañju of gold received by them from Śappakkaṉ alias Pātradāni, the mistress of Vayiramēgaṉ alias Vāṇakōvaraiyar, son of Sāmi-Akkaṉ. As Vāṇakōvaraiyar is called the son of Perunaṅgai in the previous inscription, it is possible that the latter and Śāmi-Akkaṉ were identical. From the way in which this lady is introduced in the record, it is surmised that she should have been a mistress of the king (Ep. Rep. for 1913, p. 90.)

The term amṛita-gaṇa is mentioned only in the inscriptions of Aparājita at Tiruvoṟṟiyūr. It represents a committee which was probably connected with the āḷumgaṇattār who were the direct managing members of a village, and distinct from the general members of the village assembly.¹ [It was perhaps mainly connected with the management of the offerings and lamps of the god-Ed].

The puḷḷis are marked in this record also (See Plate VI).

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