No. 51. (A.R. No. 129 of 1914.) ON THE SAME WALL.

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: The inscription registers another sale of land, made tax-free, at Śrīkaṇṭha-chaturvēdimaṅgalam by the assembly (Peruṅguri-sabhai) of the village to Vēḷāṉ Vīranāraṇaṉ alias Śembiyaṉ Vēdivēḷār of Śīṟudavūr who is stated to have constructed the Śrīvimāna to (god) Tiruveṟumbiyūr-Āḻvār. This person, after paying the cost of the land as well as a lump sum towards its tax-exemption, and also redeeming it from a certain resident of the village named Māppāni Kāri Nakkaṉ in whose charge the land had been left by the assembly (evidently in mortgage), endowed the land for the maintenance of four persons who were to sing the Tiruppadiyam hymns to the accompaniment of uḍukkai and tāḷam daily during the three services in the temple. The donor is also said to have added to this land, another piece which had been the object of a boundary dispute (sīmā-vivādam) between the residents of Śrīkaṇṭhachaturvēdimaṅgalam and Tiruveṟumbiyūr, and which he had purchased from both the parties (See No. 50 above). The inscription refers to a channel dug by the donor. This is evidently the one mentioned in No. 50 above.

Language: Tamil (tam).
