SII 13.16: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao

Alternative title: No. 16. (A.R. No. 491 of 1918.) ON THE EAST INNER GŌPURA, LEFT SIDE, OF THE SAME TEMPLE.

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This records an endowment of 60 kaḻañju of gold by a certain Ayyaṉ Vēmbaḍigaḷ of the Pārttivaśēkarat-teriñja-Kaikkōḷar (regiment ?) for daily offerings and for feeding in the temple of Tiruveṇgāḍudēvar. The assembly of Nāṅgūr received the amount and sold to the temple tax-free, one vēli of land for this purpose. Among the boundaries of the land mentioned, are a high road leading to Paṭṭaṉam (Kāvērippūmpaṭṭiṉam), and another land which had been endowed to the temple by a certain Kottappichchōḻar (Pottapi-Chōḷa). This person may be identical with the chief Pottappichchōḻar Śattiyaraiyar figuring in a record from Vṛiddhāchalam in the South Arcot district (No. 49 of 1918), dated in the 7th year of Rājarāja I, and hence the present inscription may be assigned to that king. Pārthivaśēkhara after whom the Kaikkōḷar regiment was called seems to have been a title of Rājarāja.

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