SII 13.160: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao

Alternative title: No. 160. (A.R. No. 320 of 1910.) TIRUMEYJÑĀNAM, KUMBAKONAM TALUK, TANJORE DISTRICT. ON THE WEST WALL OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE, JÑĀNAPARAMĒŚVARA TEMPLE.

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This records a tax-free gift of land for offerings (to the deity) during the midnight service (in the temple) by the assembly (perumakkaḷ) of Paḻaya Śembiyaṉ-Mahādēvi-chaturvēdimaṅgalam, a brahmadēya on the southern bank (of the Kāvēri). The mention of the village which is named after the mother of king Uttama-Chōḷa makes the record assignable to the next king after him, viz., Rājarāja I.

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