SII 13.36: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao – No. 36. (A.R. No. 182 of 1907.) UṞAIYŪR, TRICHINOPOLY TALUK, TRICHINOPOLY DISTRICT. ON THE SOUTH WALL OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE, PAÑCHAVARṆĒŚVARA TEMPLE.

Summary: The inscription is damaged. It records a gift of land by a certain Kaviṇiyaṉ Kīrttimā[r*]ttāṇḍa-Brahmādharājaṉ alias Śe . . . Kuñjaramallaṉ for an offering to the deity during the early morning service in the temple of Uḍaitalaipperumāḷ of the village. Mention is made of two fields, one called Kuñjaramalla-Vayakkal and the other Vēḷkula-Bhīma-Vayakkal. By Vēḷkula-Bhīma is perhaps meant the Eastern Chāḷukya Bhīma II; more probably it might be a title of Parāntaka I assumed after his overthrow of Śīṭpuli (-nāḍu ?) in Nellore which formed part of the Eastern Chālukya dominion (M.E.R. 1913, p. 94). Kirttimārttāṇḍa was a probable surname of the Rāshṭrakūṭa king Kṛishṇa III. (M.E.R. 1936-37, para 20). This should be a record of Gaṇḍarāditya.
