SII 12.129: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar

Alternative title: “No. 129. (A.R. No. 229 of 1925). ĀKKŪR, MAYAVARAM TALUK, TANJORE DISTRICT. ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE BASE OF THE MAṆḌAPA IN FRONT OF THE TĀNTŌ ṞĪŚVARA TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This inscription states that Kōpperuñjiṅgadēva who is called Aḻagiya-Pallavar alias Vīrapratāpar, after imprisoning the Hoysaḷas and levying tribute from the Pāṇḍyas, proceeded to the Chōḷa country along the southern bank of the Kāvērī. Proceeding due east, he worshipped at all the sacred shrines, repaired temples and remitted all the taxes on temple lands. While camping during this march at a village, probably Ākkūr itself, in Jayaṅgoṇḍaśōḻa-vaḷanāḍu, he found that the tenants had ‘migrated as far as the Ganges’ leaving the lands waste. Sympathising with their position, he remitted the arrears of taxes due from them, restored their original holdings and invited the emigrants to settle on their original lands.

The present inscription is probably connected with No. 124 above. Since the defeat of the Hoysaḷas is also referred to here, this record may be assigned to Kōpperuñjiṅga 1. The defeat of the Pāṇḍyas claimed in this record could not have taken place after the accession of the powerful Pāṇḍya sovereign Jaṭāvarman Sundara-Pāṇḍya I in A.D. 1251.

It may be pointed out here that Kōpperuñjiṅga’s fortifications built on the north bank of the river Kāvērī against his enemies the Hoysaḷas are referred to in a record from Tiruveṇkāḍu.¹

Language: Tamil (tam).
