SII 14.213: original edition by A. S. Ramanatha Ayyar

Alternative title: “No. 213. (A.R. No. 43 of 1929.) ŚIVAPURI, TIRUPPATTUR TALUK, RAMANATHAPURAM DISTRICT. ON THE SOUTH WALL OF THE SECOND prākāra IN THE SVAYAMPRAKĀŚ TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This record which begins with the characteristic historical introduction is dated in the 6th year of the king’s reign, and registers a gift of land by Tillaināyakaṉ Taruṇēnduśēkharaṉ of Ariyal, a merchant living at Aruviyūr alias Nānādēśipperunderuvu in Kēraḷasiṅga-vaḷanāḍu, for the expenses of offerings, etc., in the temple of Abhimuktīśvaram-Uḍaiyār at Nṛipaśēkhara-chaturvēdimaṅgalam. The land was called Tillaināyaka-vāykkāl in the name of the donor.

Aruviyūr, which is called Nānādēśipperunderuvu has the other name of Dēśiuyyavandapaṭṭaṇam in another record from the same temple. It must have been a merchant colony of some importance in those days.

Language: Tamil (tam).
