SII 13.314: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao

Alternative title: “No. 314. (A.R. No. 705 of 1909.) ĀLAMBĀKKAM, LALGUDI TALUK, TRICHINOPOLY DISTRICT. ON THE NORTH WALL OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE, ŚELLIYAMMAṈ TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: The inscription is slightly damaged. Like the above this is also assignable to Āditya I. It records that a quarter vēli of wet land which had been endowed by the sabhā of Dantivarma-maṅgalam previously for the repairs of the śrīvimāna of the Saptamātṛi temple, was now assigned by them for a flower-garden to the (same ?) temple. The name Dantivarma-maṅgalam found for Ālambākkam in the inscription suggests that the village should have been founded by the Pallava king Dantivarman, who is known to have held sway in these regions and is also surmised to have built the Kailāsanātha temple at this place. (M.E.R. for 1910, II, 7.)

Palaeographic description: The virāma is marked by a curve over the consonants.

Language: Tamil (tam).
