Alternative title: No. 153. (A.R. No. 364 of 1924.) MĒLAPPAḺUVŪR, UDAIYARPALAIYAM TALUK, TRICHINOPOLY DISTRICT. ON THE NORTH WALL OF THE AGASTYĒŚVARA SHRINE, AGASTYĒŚVARA TEMPLE.

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This records the gift of a lamp-stand and an endowment of 12 kaḻañju of gold for burning a perpetual lamp in the shrine of Mahādēva on the southern side of the temple of Avanikandarppa(gandharva)-Īśvaragṛiham, by Nakkaṉ Akkāranaṅgaiyār the daughter of Dēvaṉār ‘of this Taḷi’ and wife of prince (Piḷḷai) Śēramāṉār. In No. 385 of 1924 from the same place, dated in the 27th year of Rājarāja I, his queen Pañchavan-Mahādēvi is referred to as the daughter of Dēvanār of Avanikandarppapuram. The identity of ‘Piḷḷai Śēramānār’ is not known. He was possibly a feudatory chief holding an important position under the Chōḷa king. Friendly relationship is known to have prevailed between the Chēras and the Chōḷas since the time of Āditya I (S.I.I. Vol. III, No. 89).
