SII 17.199: original edition by K. G. Krishnan

Alternative title: “No. 199. (A.R. No. 178 of 1904.) TIRUVAKKARAI, VILUPPURAM TALUK, SOUTH ARCOT DISTRICT.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: On the south wall of the maṇḍapa in front of the central shrine in the Chandramauḷīśvara temple.

Kulōttuṅga I. Year 10: 1079-80 A.D.

On grounds of palaeography, the inscription may be assigned to Kulōttuṅga I.

This records the gift of sheep by Tāmar-uḍaiyāṉ Tiruvāṟaipon, the wife of Āṟaiyan [ṉa]ḍaippori Ka[rumaṉ] alias Aḻagiyasōḻa-pPallavaraiyan, a resident of Kārāṇaik kōṭṭai in Viḻupparaiya-nāḍu in Rājēndraśōḻa-vaḷanāḍu for a sandhi lamp to the god at Tiruvakkarai, for the merit of her husband.

The name of the division, Viḻupparaiya-nāḍu, seems to suggest the origin of the name Viḻuppuram, the headquarters of the taluk.

Language: Tamil (tam) [Grantha (grantha), Tamil (tamil)].
