SII 14.16: original edition by A. S. Ramanatha Ayyar

Alternative title: “No. 16. (A.R. No. 138 of 1908.) TIRUPPATTŪR, TIRUPPATTUR TALUK, RAMANATHAPURAM DISTRICT. ON A SLAB LYING IN THE AṄGĀḶAMMAṈ TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This record also comes from Tiruppattūr and is dated in some year, which was probably [4]¹ and 4985th day of king Māṟañjaḍaiyaṉ’s reign. It registers that Manōmayaṉ-Māṟaṉ, the kāvadi of Iḷaveṇbaikkalattirukkai, presented 150 sheep for the maintenance of a perpetual lamp to the god Jalaśayaṉattu-BhaTArar at TirupputtUr, a brahmadēya in KoḻuvUr-kUṟṟam. This image must have been one of Vishṇu in his recumbent form, but no traces of it are seen now. The term KAvadi signifies a ‘revenue officer’ and is found applied to even petty officials in the Chōḷa country at this period. As in No. 9 above, the corporate body called the ‘ĀyiratteḻunUṟṟuvar’ were to be in charge of this charity also.

Language: Tamil (tam).
