SII 13.317: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao

Alternative title: “No. 317. (A.R. No. 168 of 1904.) TIRUVAKKARAI, VILLUPURAM TALUK, SOUTH ARCOT DISTRICT. AT THE SOUTHERN ENTRANCE INTO THE CENTRAL SHRINE, RIGHT SIDE, CHANDRAMAUḶĪŚVARA TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This inscription records a gift of 100 kāḍi of paddy by a lady named Pugaḻttuṇai-Aḍigaḷ mother of one Viḻuppēraraiyar Ayyakuṭṭi-Aḍigaḷ, which was left in charge of the body called kulaṅkiḻārkaḷ of Tiruvakkārai. With the annual interest of 25 kāḍi accruing on this endowment, its members were to provide for the sacred bath of the deity Tirukkāṟkaṟṟaḷi-Perumānaḍigaḷ on the days of the asterism Chitrā in Chittirai month and of Śravaṇa (Ōṇam) in Puraṭṭādi every year. The high regnal year of the king with however no qualifying epithet for him would make the inscription assignable to Āditya I, but the characters seem to be later.

Language: Tamil (tam).
