SII 14.191: original edition by A. S. Ramanatha Ayyar

Alternative title: “No. 191. (A.R. No. 393 of 1929-30.) ĀTTŪR, TIRUCHCHENDUR TALUK, TIRUNELVELI DISTRICT. ON THE NORTH WALL OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE IN THE SŌMANĀTHA TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This record is dated in the 25th year of the reign of Māṟāvārmāṉ Vikrama-Chōḷapāṇḍyadēva and registers an agreement given by the aganāḻigai-śivabrāhmaṇas, i.e, the priests in charge of the inner precincts of the temple to the temple authorities to the effect that they will conduct the items of charity, namely, the provision of milk-porridge to the god Sōmanāthadēva at Āṟṟūr in Rājādhirāja-chaturvēdimaṅgalam and feeding fifteen Śivabrāhmaṇas in the temple on each amāvāsyā day every month for which a gift of money had been made by Kaṇḍaṉ-Ayyaṉār of Maṅgalakkāl. This amount was invested on the purchase of some lands, and from the annual pro duce of these lands, the charity was to be conducted.

The donor Kaṇḍaṉ-Ayyaṉār is also called Nṛipaśikhāmaṉi-Mūvēndavēḷār, evidently after the biruda of some royal personage but whose surname Nṛipaśikhāmaṉi was is not ascertainable.

Language: Tamil (tam).
