SII 13.167: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao

Alternative title: “No. 167. (A.R. No. 127 of 1919.) OLAGĀPURAM, TINDIVANAM TALUK, SOUTH ARCOT DISTRICT. ON THE SOUTH WALL OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE IN THE RUINED ŚIVA TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: The inscription is partly built in. It records a sale of land by the nagarattār (merchant guild) of Ulagamādēvipuram in Ōymā-nāḍu to Gaṅgaṉ Ambalavaṉ Gaṇḍarādi[tta]śōḻa-Viḻuppaṟaiyaṉ of Kuvaḷālam (Kolar) in Gaṅgarusāyira province, who endowed it for a flower-garden for the temple. This donor is evidently identical with Ambalavaṉ Gaṇḍarādittaṉār who is referred to in No. 54 above of the 3rd year of Rājakēsarivarman, as belonging to the Perundaram of the king and as having constructed the temple. Like No. 54 this may also be assigned to Rājarāja I. Among the boundaries of the land is mentioned a ridge or pathway called Kalikaṇṭaka-peruvarambu.

Language: Tamil (tam).
