SII 14.237: original edition by A. S. Ramanatha Ayyar

Alternative title: “No. 237. (A.R. No. 439 of 1929-30.) ĀTTŪR, TIRUCHCHENDUR TALUK, TIRUNELVELI DISTRICT. ON A PILLAR IN THE SOUTH VERANDAH OF THE FIRST prākāra IN THE SŌMANĀTHA TEMPLE.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This record of Jaṭāvarmaṉ Śrīvallabha, which commences with the usual historical introduction is dated in the 16th year of the king. It is much damaged; but from the legible portions it appears to register some gift of land to a certain Sōmaṉ who is described as a Śāntikkūttaṉ or one who enacted Śāntikkūttus, a variety of dance and stage-play. This kūttu is defined in the commentary on the Śiloppadikāram, the early Tamil epic.

Language: Tamil (tam).
