Alternative title: No. 97. (A.R. No. 419 of 1923.) VEṆPĀKKAM, CONJEEVERAM TALUK, CHINGLEPUT DISTRICT. ON A SLAB SET UP IN THE VILLAGE.

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This records the construction of a sluice by Kēraḷan Rājādittaṉ alias Nāṇi Vichchādara (Vidyādhara) mārāyaṉ who had the jīvita of Vēlakkōṉ-maṅgalam in Kuṉṟa-nāḍu, a subdivision of Ūṟṟukkāṭṭuk-kōṭṭam. His names suggest that he was possibly a person of high musical attainments which accounted for his jīvita, probably at the hands of prince Rājāditya.
