SII 12.113: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar

Alternative title: “VAYIRAMEGAVARMAN. No. 113. (A.R. No. 150 of 1916). POYYAṈŪR, ARKONAM TALUK, NORTH ARCOT DISTRICT. ON A SLAB BUILT INTO THE NORTH WALL OF THE AGASTĪŚVARA TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This inscription, which is highly damaged, seems to record a gift made for providing offerings to the god Tiruvagattīśvara[muḍaiya-Mahādēva], by the assembly of Poygainallūr in Dāmaṟ-kōṭṭam, in the 2nd year of Vayiramēgavarman.

The surname Vayiramēgaṉ¹ is applied to Dantivarman in the Triplicane inscription.² As the characters of the present and the following inscription belong to a later period than Dantivarman, the king figuring in these two records was probably different. A certain chieftain named Vayiramēgaṉ alias Vāṇakōvaraiyar figures in two inscriptions from Tiruvoṟṟiyūr,³ with whom Vayiramēgavarman of the present record may be identified.

Language: Tamil (tam).
