SII 13.216: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao – No. 216. (A.R. No. 315 of 1929.) TIRUPPĀLAIVANAM, PONNERI TALUK, CHINGLEPUT DISTRICT. ON THE NORTH WALL OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE, TIRUPPĀLĒŚVARA TEMPLE.

Editor: Emmanuel Francis.

Identifier: DHARMA_INSSIIv13p0i0216.

Summary: This records an agreement of the Śivabrāhmaṇas of the temple at Tiruppālaivanam to burn a perpetual lamp before the deity, in lieu of interest for the gold received by them from a resident of Tiruvānmiyūr in Puliyūr-kōṭṭam. The gilding of the Tiruppērambalam, i.e., the temple at Chidambaram, which is claimed for king Rājakēsarivarman of this record, is also attributed (in A.R. No. 349 of 1929 from the same place) to Tribhuvanachakravartin Kulōttuṅga-Chōḷadēva who has been identified with Kulōttuṅga II in the Epigraphical Report for 1929, Part II, para 35. The present inscription may therefore be assigned to that king. (See also M.E.R. 1927, II. 24.)
