SII 12.205: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar

Alternative title: “No. 205. (A.R. No. 314 of 1911). VĒḶACHCHĒRI, SAIDAPET TALUK, CHINGLEPUT DISTRICT. ON THE SOUTH WALL OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE IN THE DAṆḌĒŚVARA TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This inscription records a gift of 9 paṇam made in the 18th year of the chief for burning a twilight lamp for 7 nāḻigai (i.e. 2 hours and 48 minutes) daily, in the temple of Tiruttaṇḍīśuramuḍaiya-Nāyaṉār at Veḷichchēri alias Jīnachintāmaṇi-chaturvēdimaṅgalam, by Maruduḍaiyāṉ Śōṟaṉ Ariyāṉ of Kīraṅguḍi in Śōḻa-maṇḍalam.

The name Jīna(Dīna)chintāmaṇi-chaturvēdimaṅgalam came to be applied to Vēḷachchēri from about the time of Kulōttuṅga-Chōḷa III, because the earlier inscriptions of the place do not mention it. The village Kīraṅguḍi may be identified with the village of the same name in the Nannilam taluk of the Tanjore district.

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