SII 13.50: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao

Alternative title: No. 50. (A.R. No. 123 of 1914.) TIRUVEṞUMBŪR, TRICHINOPOLY TALUK, TRICHINOPOLY DISTRICT. ON THE SOUTH WALL OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE, PIPĪLIKĒŚVARA TEMPLE.

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: The middle portion of the inscription is built in. This registers a joint sale of some land by the Peruṅguṟi-sabhā of Śrīkaṇṭha-chaturvēdimaṅgalam and the Ūrār of Eṟumbiyūr between whom the boundary of the land is said to have been a matter of dispute, to a certain Vīranārāyaṇaṉ Śembiyaṉ Vēdivēḷār of Śiṟudavūr in Kiḷiyūr-nāḍu. They agreed to pay the taxes iṟai, echchōṟu and veṭṭivēdinai due on the land for a lump sum of gold received by them in addition to the sale amount, and also agreed to give the necessary supply of water for irrigation of the land from the tank at Śrīkaṇṭha-chaturvēdimaṅgalam. The land was endowed to the temple by the purchaser for the maintenance of four persons singing the tiruppadiyam (before the god). The donor is known from No. 51 below to have built the Śrīvimāna of this temple.

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