Alternative title: No. 55. (A.R. No. 55 of 1906) TANJAVUR DISTRICT, MAYURAM TALUK, TIRUMAYĀNAM. BRAHMAPURĪŚVARA TEMPLE—ON THE SAME WALL. KŌNĒRINMAIKOṆḌĀN (?)—9th YEAR AND 100th DAY.

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This seems to register the grant of 2 pieces of land, one at Vīraśōḻanallūr and the other at Virudarājabhayaṅkaranallūr and measuring together 23 ½ [vēli] in extent, to the temple of Tirumaiyānamuḍaiyār at Tirukkaḍavūr, by order of the king. Mention is made of a flower garden called the “Rājādhirājaṉ tirunandavanam” which was to be formed out of one of these lands after its reclamation from sandy mounds. The record is left incomplete towards the end. A land settlement made in the 16th year of Kulōttuṅga-Chōḷa is referred to in the inscription.

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