SII 22.109: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao

Alternative title: No. 109. (A.R. No. 109 of 1906) SOUTH ARCOT DISTRICT, TIRUKKŌYILŪR TALUK, JAMBAI. JAMBUNĀTHA TEMPLE—ON A SLAB SET UP ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SECOND ENTRANCE. KARIKĀLA CHŌḶA—27th YEAR.

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: The last few lines of the inscription are badly damaged. The sense of the record is rather obscure. It seems to register the consecration of a temple of Mahādēva by Vāḷaiyūr-Nakkar Yōgavāṇar a resident of Raṇabhīma-maṅgalam on the southern bank of the Peṇṇai, and an endowment made for worship therein by Vāṇakōvaraiyar Vīraparumar the chief of Vāṇagappāḍi-nāḍu by means of taxation on the lands at that village. The ūravar seem to have been made responsible for the collection and payment of the amount into the temple.

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

The rest is damaged. Four lamp-stands of increasing height and a pair of feet between the third and fourth lamp-stands are cut in relief below the inscription.
