Alternative title: No. 202. (A.R. No. 181 of 1904.) TIRUVAKKARAI, VILUPPURAM TALUK, SOUTH ARCOT DISTRICT.

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: On the west wall of the maṇḍapa in front of the central shrine in Chandra mauḷīśvara temple.

Māṟavarmaṉ Vikramapāṇḍya III. Year 6: 1288-89A.D.

This inscription commences with the praśasti Samasta bhuvanēkavīra, etc., of the king and is dated on the 273rd day of the 6th year.

It records a tax-free gift of land by the king to god Āḷuḍaiya Nāyaṉār at Tiruvakkarai, a taṉiyūr of Māttūr-nāḍu in Jayaṅgoṇḍaśōḻa-maṇḍalam, for a special daily service called Vikrama-Pāṇḍiyaṉ sandhi and an annual festival to be cailed Vikramapāṇḍiyaṉ tirunāḷ, both named after himself.

After the signatures of Guṇamaṅgalam-uḍaiyāṉ and Vaḻudiyadaraiyaṉ the phrase tirueḻuttu occurs, perhaps signifying royal assent.

Languages: Sanskrit (san) [Grantha (grantha), Tamil (tamil)], Tamil (tam) [Grantha (grantha), Tamil (tamil)].
