SII 22.27: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao

Alternative title: No. 27. (A.R. No. 27 of 1906) TANJAVUR DISTRICT, MAYURAM TALUK, TIRUKKAḌAIYŪR. AMṚITAGHAṬĒŚVARA TEMPLE—ON THE SAME BASE. RĀJARĀJA I—16th YEAR, (A.D. 1000-1).

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: The details of date are given as Pūraṭṭādi ba. 2, Monday, Punarvasu (A.D. 1000, Sept. 23). The tithi should be ba. 8. This registers the sale of ¾ vēli and odd of land as tirunāmattukkāṇi to the temple of Tiruvīraṭṭānam-uḍaiya-Paramasvāmi by the sabhā of Kaḍavūr. It seems that some money was due to the palace by way of loan taken by one Bāradāyaṉ Pullaṉ Vīranārāyaṇaṉ alias Brahmaśrīrāyaṉ on behalf of a lady of the Mañjanattār-vēḷam. The amount had doubled itself into 30 poṉ in course of time, and some members of the Samarakēsari-teriñja Kaikkōḷar who were orderd to collect the debt, put severe pressure upon the sabhā of the village to do so. Brahmaśrīrāyaṉ had died in the meanwhile and the sabhā sought out a jñāti of his by name Sāmanta-Tanikar who, however, disowned any responsibility towards his cousin. The sabhā attached the debtor’s property which had descended to the deceased’s son Vīranārāyaṇaṉ Śivaṉ and the latters’ nephew Pullan Vīranārāyaṇaṉ. Since these two could not be found, the property was taken over (?) exparte in lieu of the amount due and was sold to the temple. The inscription is damaged and left incomplete towards the end.
