SII 13.43: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao

Alternative title: “No. 43. (A.R. No. 262 of 1910.) TIRUVAḌANDAI, CHINGLEPUT TALUK, CHINGLEPUT DISTRICT. ON THE SOUTH WALL OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE, VARĀHA-PERUMĀḶ TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This records an agreement given by the sabhā of Māḍambākkam (s. a. Māḍambākkam in the Saidapet taluk) alias Aṇidīra-maṅgalam in Neḍuṅguṉṟa-nāḍu, a subdivision of Puliyūr-kōṭṭam, to pay as interest every year on 15 kaḻañju of gold received by them from Nakkaṉ Pirāntakaṉ alias Brahmaśrīrājan, a resident of Alaiyūr in Poygai-nāḍu of Śōṇāḍu, ninety nāḻi of oil calculated at one uḻakku per day, for a perpetual lamp in the temple at Tiruviḍavandai, a dēvadāna in Paḍuvūr-nāḍu a sub-division of Āmūr-kōṭṭam. In default the sabhā made itself liable for a fine of 8 1/4 kāṇam a day to be paid to the Dharmāsana and for a levy of a maṉṟupāḍu tax of a mañjāḍi a day to the then reigning king. The sabhā of Tiruviḍavandai through its Tiruvuṇṇāḻigai-vāriyap-perumakkaḷ (temple-committee) held itself responsible for the collection of this oil and for burning the lamp.

Alaiyūr in Poygai-nāḍu may be identified with Allūr in the Tanjore taluk, since Tillaisthānam in the same taluk (No. 47 below) was also like Alaiyūr in Poygai-nāḍu.

Language: Tamil (tam).
