SII 17.241: original edition by K. G. Krishnan

Alternative title: “No. 241. (A.R. No. 219 of 1904.) MĒLŚĒVŪR, GINGEE TALUK, SOUTH ARCOT DISTRICT.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: On the west base of the maṇḍapa in front of the central shrine, in the Vṛishabhapurīśvara temple.

Kulōttuṅga I. Year 45: 1114-15 A.D.

This fragmentary inscription may be assigned to Kulōttuṅga I on account of the high regnal year.

It records the gift of 32 cows by Paḷḷi Mīṉan alias Villi for a lamp probably in expiation of a sin committed by him for the merit of his wife Irāman Tiruvi. Her brother Irāmaṉ Śaḍaiyaṉ and the Nāṭṭār assembled and seem to have demanded Villi to provide for a lamp.

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