SII 12.118: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar

Alternative title: “SECTION II. Later Pallava Chiefs. KOPPERUNJINGADEVA I. No. 118. (A.R. No. 85 of 1918). VṚIDDHĀCHALAM, VRIDDHACHALAM TALUK, SOUTH ARCOT DISTRICT. IN THE SECOND GŌPURA (LEFT OF ENTRANCE) OF THE VṚIDDHAGIRĪŚVARA TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This inscription, dated in the 3rd year of Sakalabhuvanchchakravarttigaḷ Kōpperuñjiṅgadēva, registers a gift of 32 cows for burning a perpetual lamp in the temple of Uḍaiyār Tirumudukuṉṟamuḍaiya-Nāyaṉār by Añjāda-Perumāḷ, son of Āṇḍāḷi, one of the agambaḍittana-mudalis in the service of Śeṅgaṉivāyaṉ Śōḻakōṉār of Araśūr.

Śōḻakōṉār mentioned here was an important officer under Kōpperuñjiṅgadēva I¹ and II, holding charge of the region round about the present town of Chidambaram in the South Arcot district. His native place Araśūr is probably identical with the village of that name in the Tirukkoyilur taluk of the same district.

The existence of two Kāḍava chiefs with the name Kōpperuñjiṅgadēva is established in the Introduction. Their records have to be distinguished with care from the internal evidence, astronomical details given and the surname Aḻagiyaśīyaṉ invariably borne by the elder chief.

In the details given for the calculation of date in the present record śu is wrongly quoted for ba., since śu. 10 connot combine with nakshatra Pūśam in the month of Siṁha. With this emendation there is no date in the reign of Kōpperuñjiṅgadēva II for the details given, but they, however, correspond to A.D. 1234, August 21, Monday which fell in the period of Kōpperuñjiṅga I. This record must, therefore, be ascribed to the latter chief.

Language: Tamil (tam).
