Alternative title: No. 563. (A.R. No. 520 of 1904.) TIRUNELLIKKĀVAL, MANNARGUDI TALUK, TANJORE DISTRICT.

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: On the north base of the central shrine in the Āmalakēśvara temple.

Rājarāja III. Year 21: 1236-37 A.D.

On palaeographical considerations this inscription can be assigned to Rājarāja III.

It records a grant of land, made tax-free by the sthānattār of the temple for burning a lamp at the Kulachchiṟai maṭha¹ situated in the tirumaḍaiviḷāgam to the north of the temple of Tirunellikkā-uḍaiyār. It mentions Tiruñāṉasambandan guhai,² which was probably a monastery (See No. 564 below).

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

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

Notes

1. The maṭha and the guhai had been evidently named after the Pāṇḍya minister Kulachchiṟai and the saint Tiruñāṉasambandhar, both of whom lived in about the 7th century A.D.
