SII 14.93: original edition by A. S. Ramanatha Ayyar

Alternative title: “No. 93. (A.R. No. 238 of 1932-33.) PERUṄGUḶAM, SRIVAIKUNTAM TALUK, TIRUNELVELI DISTRICT. ON THE SOUTH WALL OF THE TIRUVAḶUDĪŚVARA TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This incomplete inscription is dated in the 15th year of Vīra-Pāṇḍya and relates to the gift of buffalœs by the wife of Pāṇḍimārttāṇḍa-Pallavaraiyaṉ alias Śe2ṉṉappi of Kuṟuṅguḍi in Māṉavīra-vaḷanāḍu, a subdivision of Tiruvaḻudi-vaḷanāḍu, to burn a lamp in the temple of Tiruvaḻudīśvarattu-Āḻvār at Peruṅguḷam in Tiruvaḻudi-vaḷanāḍu, for the merit of her husband and herself.

The titles Tiruvaḻudi, Māṉavīra and Pāṇḍimārttāṇḍa are noteworthy. ‘Vaḻudi,’ though it is a general title of Pāṇḍya kings has perhaps special reference to the early Pāṇḍya king Palyāgaśālai Mudukuḍumi-Peruvaḻudi who is referred to in the Vēḷvikkuḍi copper plate grant. ‘Māṉavīra’ must have been a title assumed by a Pāṇḍya king, presumably earlier than Vīra-Pāṇḍya. Pāṇḍimārttāṇḍa-vaḷanāḍu occurs as the name of a district in the time of Rājasimha himself, and as such it must have been probably a title of Rājasimha.

Language: Tamil (tam).
