SII 17.530: original edition by K. G. Krishnan

Alternative title: No. 530. (A.R. No. 488 of 1904.) VĒDĀRAṆYAM, TIRUTTURAIPPUNDI TALUK, TANJORE DISTRICT.

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: On the second pillar in the maṇḍapa in front of the Rāmanāthēśvara shrine in the Vēdāraṇyēśvara temple.

Parāntaka I. [4]3: 949-50 A.D.

The date-portion of the record is badly damaged. The reference to the conquest of ceylon seems to indicate the year 43. This records the gift of 90 sheep by the children (makkaḷ) of Kāri-Śātti, a servant in the palace-establishment of Kiḻāṉaḍigaḷ i.e., the queen, for burning a perpetual lamp to the deity with one uḻakku of ghee daily, by the measure called Tirumaṟaikkāḍaṉ.

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

Repository: SII original (south-indian-inscriptions).

Identifier: DHARMA_INSSIIv17p0i0530.

There are a few lines below this engraved in characters of the same period, which seem to record a similar gift.
