SII 14.228: original edition by A. S. Ramanatha Ayyar

Alternative title: “No. 228. (A.R. No. 111 of 1908.) TIRUPPATTŪR, TIRUPPATTUR TALUK, RAMANATHAPURAM DISTRICT. ON THE NORTH WALL OF THE maṇḍapa IN THE TIRUTTAḶĪŚVARA TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This epigraph dated in the tenth year and 205th day of the king registers remission of taxes amounting to 43(2/20) māḍai on two hamlets for providing worship to the god Tiruttaḷi-Mahādēva at Tiruppattūr a brahmadēya in Kēraḷaśiṅga-vaḷanāḍu. At the request of Kāliṅgarāyaṉ the king is stated to have issued this order while he was seated in the paḷḷikkaṭṭil called Pāṇḍiyaṉ in the hall Aḷagiyapāṇḍiyaṉ in the inner precincts of the palace at Madurai.

An officer named Parākramapāṇḍiya-Uttaramantri figures in the record and so a certain Parākrama-Pāṇḍya must have been a predecessor or at least a contemporary of this Śrīvallabhadēva.

Language: Tamil (tam).
