SII 13.166: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao

Alternative title: “No. 166. (A.R. No. 112 of 1914.) ON THE WEST WALL OF THE SAME SHRINE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This registers the sale of a piece of land by the ūrār (assembly) of Tiruveṟumbiyūr in Kavira-nāḍu to Vēḷāṉ Vīranārāyaṇaṉ alias Śembiyaṉ Vēdivēḷāṉ of Śi[ṟu]davvūr in Kiḷiyūr-nāḍu, who is stated to have ‘built the śrīvimāna of the God.’ This land was to be endowed as jīvita for the maintenance of a watchman to the temple who was to be appointed from among the ūrār. The inscription may belong, like Nos. 163-165 above, to Rājarāja I.

Language: Tamil (tam).

Version: (3992bd7), last modified (0ec4724).
