Identifier: DHARMA_INSSIIv12p0i0183.

Summary: This is a fragmentary inscription, dated in the 14th year, recording a gift of three cows for a twilight lamp before the god at Tiruvuḍai[chchuram] in Vallanāḍu, a subdivision of Kaḷattūr-kōṭṭam, by a certain Naṉdipaṉmaṉ.1 Piḷḷaiyār Nīlagaṅgaraiyar, who is also mentioned here appears to have been an officer under Kōpperuñjiṅgadēva. A Nīlagaṅgaṉ of Āmūr with the title ‘Bhūpālanōdbhava’, corresponding to the title Avaṉi-āḷappiṟandār of Kōpperuñjiṅgadēva figures in a record from Little Conjeeveram dated in the 22nd year of Vijaya-Gaṇḍagōpāla.2 This person is probably identical with or a close relation of Nīlagaṅgaraiyar mentioned in the present record.
