SII 13.292: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao

Alternative title: “No. 292. (A.R. No. 237 of 1915.) BRAHMADĒŚAM, CHEYYAR TALUK, NORTH ARCOT DISTRICT. ON THE SOUTH WALL OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE, CHANDRAMAUḶĪŚVARA TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This records an endowment of a piece of land under the tank Tigaittiṟal-ēri by Tiruppondai-Sōmāśiyār (Sōmayāji), son of Kumāraḍi-Bhaṭṭa-Vājabhējiyār (Vājapēyayājī) of Maṇaṟppākkam, a member of the āḷuṅgaṇam of Rājamalla-chaturvēdimaṅgalam of Tiruvēgambapuram in Dāmar-kōṭṭam, for the daily feeding of a Brahman at mid-day in the temple of Śrīpondai-Perumāṉaḍigaḷ. The gift was entrusted to the gaṇavāriya-perumakkaḷ of the temple. This is possibly an inscription of Āditya I.

In the M.E.R. 1916, II, 8, the village has been surmised to owe its origin to one of the Western Gaṅga kings named Rājamalla. No inscriptions of that dynasty have however been found at this place; but there is one actually of a Rājamalla at Vaḷḷimalai in the same district (No. 6 of 1895).

Language: Tamil (tam).
