SII 14.78: original edition by A. S. Ramanatha Ayyar

Alternative title: “No. 78. (A.R. No. 440 of 1907.) ŚIṈṈAMAṈŪR, PERIYAKULAM TALUK, MADURAI DISTRICT. ON THE WEST WALL OF THE LAKSHMĪNĀRĀYAṆA-PERUMĀḶ TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This Tamil inscription is dated in the 46th year of a Śaḍaiya-Māṟaṉ, whose identity with the other king of the same name is not clear, in the absence of similar records bearing such high regnal years. It differs from the usual run of inscriptions of this period in its registering an order (kaichcham) of the sabhā of Arikēsarinallūr, a brahmadēya in Aḻa-nāḍu, regulating the supply of water from the channel called Śrīkaṇṭha-vāykkāl, apparently to temple lands.

Language: Tamil (tam).
