SII 14.77: original edition by A. S. Ramanatha Ayyar

Alternative title: “No. 77. (A.R. No. 301 of 1916.) AMBĀSAMUDRAM, AMBASAMUDRAM TALUK, TIRUNELVELI DISTRICT. ON THE SOUTH WALL OF THE EṞICHCHĀVUḌAIYĀR TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This incomplete inscription of Śaḍaiya-Māṟaṉ, the date of which is lost, refers to a certain Māṉābharaṇaṉ-Podiyil-Vēḷāṉ, whose wife may have provided perhaps for the burning of a lamp in the temple of Tirupōttuḍaiya-Bhaṭāra at Iḷaṅgōykkuḍi. From the mention of Māṉābharaṇa as the surname of the person, it may be inferred that it was probably a biruda of the king Śaḍaiya-Māṟaṉ himself. It does not occur, however, in his copper plate grant from Śiṉṉamaṉūr.

Language: Tamil (tam).
