SII 13.133: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao

Alternative title: No. 133. (A.R. No. 215 of 1907.) TIRUVIḌAIMARUDŪR, KUMBAKONAM TALUK, TANJORE DISTRICT. ON THE NORTH WALL OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE, MAHĀLIṄGASVĀMIN TEMPLE.

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This is evidently an inscription of Rājarāja I. It states that queen [Pañcha]vaṉ-Mādēviyār paid a visit to the temple of Tiruviḍaimaruduḍaiyār to offer worship to the deity, when she was waited upon by Śiṟṟāyiluḍaiyāṉ the temple manager, the dēvakarmis, the sabhā and the nagaram (merchant guild ?) of Tiruviḍaimarudil. She is also said to have visited the big flower-garden (presented to the temple by ?) Śembiyaṉ-Mādēvi, and this occasion seems to have been marked by some gift of land for the upkeep of the gardener. At this portion the record is damaged.

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

Repository: SII original (south-indian-inscriptions).
